cupcakes.I am not sure if Samuel Thomson had middle names.Immigration etc. that I have searched doesn't show Lewis Williams.Not that it means he didn't have these names.Another challenge.Thanks again for your efforts.Some of the info that you have provided I have saved for further research. |

cupcakes.There was a James Thomson living with Kenneth Thomson in the 1943 electrol rolls.This Kenneth is my man so James could have been his father as he was listed as a rubber worker which he was in 1933 electrol rolls.I have not James 1934 death so this could well be him.Well done.I wiil note this record. |

You know you are right,the thrill of the chase.You do this for a stranger. I bet you are like a blood hound searching your own relations.Yes I am doing this for a cousin, Kenneth Thomson's daughter.She did not know much about her father's past.She asked me do a bit of research.I will credit you with the information that you have supplied.I have taken a snip of the computor screen showing your lovely cupcakes and will forward it on.Thanks |
