No problem.  I am a little suspicious of "India" myself.  Did you notice that on the marriage certificate for James Harry Thompson - bottom left hand corner :-  Birthplace of Bridegrooms father :-  "5 miles from Ireland on the sea"

Probably a red-herring but..........Drawn to the 1891 Canadian Census Finlayson and Peck, Nipissing, Ontario, Canada.

John Thompson   22 years old - born Ireland. Father and Mother born Ireland.
Not sure if "rafteman" is a craftsman - not quite something can relate to hotel industry yet.

GRO Reference: 1865  M Quarter in WEST DERBY AND TOXTETH PARK  Volume 08B  Page 466

so other documents ive seen have his mother potentially listed as mary ann lawson which would fit with the names prescence in the family
