Good Morning Everyone , i was wondering if you could help as i feel like ive exhausted ancestry and am now completely stuck and struggling to answer some questions on the family! Any help would be massively appreciated
The Main questions are :
- confirmation of marriage certificate
-establishing when he moved to the UK from North Bay, Nipissing , Ontario, Canada
- Confirm if any other children apart from Glenn
William Thompson (Grandad) was born on 09/04/1910 in Canada.He is recorded in the 1911 Census as residing in Nipissing , also within the 1921 census , at this point he is listed as a scholar, He married Ellen Grace Bland in January 1953 in Islington , so appears to have returned to the UK at some point between 1921 and 1953 but i cant find anything. He passed away in 1973/1974 in London.
He had two brothers in canada (scottish nationality) Gordon Lawson Thompson born in April 1908 in Ontario, he was married on 12/11/1930 to Dorothy Marie Galbraith, Dorothy was from York Country in Ontario, i dont have any further information on when gordon died and if he had any children. Harry Thompson born in April 1906 in Ontario , no further details could be found on him
Their father was James Thompsonm (Great Grandfather) birth: 02/12/1864, born in india but scottish, moved to canada in 1882 and married in 1903 Kathleen/Catherine and records show her last name recorded 3 ways Franklin/Faughnan/Turney (Great Grandmother), she was born in pembroke, Ontario, (more details on her below).
He passed away on 03/04/1925 at 29 Main Street, West, and died due to angina Pectoris , He is buried in North Bay St. Mary's Cemetery (Roman Catholic Church ). He was buried 06/04/1925 in Block C, Plot 79, Grave 2.
Kathleen (Great grandmother) was born in July 1881, date unknown, When looking at Kathleen her last name is unclear in terms of Maiden Name , there are two potentials :
Kathleen Franklin : this maiden name is on Gordons Marriage certificate to Dorothy as the details of the bridegrooms mother, however it is noted that the witnesses appears to have the other questionable last name ‘ Mr James Turney and Miss Gar…. Turney’ (potentially an uncle/aunt?)
Kathleen Faughnan- this name is used in the obituary for James and also states she resides in Pembroke, Ontario.
Harry Thompson (Great Great Grandad) was born in Scotland (DOB unknown and no further details at this time, he would have gone to india at some point)
According to James Thompsons (Great Grandad)records his mother is called Mary (Great Great Grandmother) and she was born in Scotland, however according to his death certificate her surname was unknown, her father was born in Ireland and her mother in scotland
Any help would be so appreciated !
