Thompson....from where???
« on: Sunday 04 January 26 02:16 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone...HNY
Can anyone offer up suggestions? 
I am trying to determine the origins of Stephen Richard Charles Thompson, sometimes an additional Christian name of Spencer is recorded  as the 4th Christian name.  I can track him via Electoral Rolls starting in 1949 (in East Melbourne), through Western Australia from the 1950s to the 1970s, and finally in New South Wales in 1980.  I can locate a death entry via the NSW BMD in 1984 for a Stephen Richard Charles Thompson with  parents listed as Fredrick & Jessie, but no age for a starting point.  He  married in 1952 in Western Australia.  I cannot locate a burial/cremation location in NSW, his last address I have for him was in Camden NSW.  I've tried external to Australia free BMDs with no luck.
I need new eyes.
Any suggestions welcomed.
Many thanks
Stuart McDonald, WA.

Well……
I don’t see any other way to find anything. Even if what is on them is fictitious, there are still often clues.
I don’t see a notice of the wedding in Trove. Have you?

There were no locatable marriage or engagement notices that I could locate.  Odd that reference to him are so scant.  Maybe Thompson was not his birth name, mother remarried, illegit....just changed his name....the options are endless huh?

Any details about his marriage - name of wife etc.  Was she with him in the Electoral roll entries?
What is the source of your information?

His wife was Kathleen Mary Teresa Rawlings (b. 1925 WA), daughter of Herbert George Rawlings & Kathleen Mary Ellen West, the source is the WA Online Marriage Index (http://www.wamarriage.info/) for their 1952 marriage, and yes, she was listed at the same address with Stephen Thompson from 1954 to 1980.  I can't reference a date of death for her.

No real help, but I notice his death was registered at Picton in 1984 so seems he was in the same area as the Electoral roll address.
