Find Ancestors

In spite of an apparent dot over the name, suggesting there's an "i" in it, I think the name is Hugh.

However, still no luck in finding William or either of his parents.

I've PM'd you my email address - though you could attach the cert to a PM .

Please can anyone pm me an email so that I can attach copy of certificate. Thank you Pam

The Mothers name is Catherine Ward. The name of the Father looks like Arigh that's what the Australia Library staff thought, ? but not found any reference to this. Even though William James Thompson was born in 1842 in Downpatrick may be his Father was not from Ireland . I have tried lots of searches on all records Thanks Pam

What was his mother's name? I assume that's readable, as you haven't asked for help with it.


If the library staff can't read the father's name, it's probably a hopeless task.
But if you can scan the cert and send it to me as an attachment to a PM I'll be happy to have a look.

I have already been in touch with them but they are not sure what the name is either Thanks Pam

I am returning to this post as I now have the marriage certificate for William James Thompson born Downpatrick Norther Ireland . His Parents are named but his Fathers name is difficult to read. As this was the reason I got the marriage certificate I am wondering where the best place would be to get help in deciphering it. You have all been very patient and helpful with this post. I can read the names of his Wife's Parents and know they are correct as I already knew their names. Any suggestions welcome Thank you Pam

i will have to pay to view then Thanks Pam

It's no easier in lockdown when you're nearly 80

I found a possible death record on Find My Past for an Agnes Thompson 1876-1879 Warncourt (Warncoot) ? Cemetery register and headstones Victoria Australia I am signed up to Find a Grave and billion graves but couldn't pick up anything. I have not fond any evidence of Agnes after her birth in 1876 and wondered if she died as a child. Her Mother being Catherine Ellis who died in 1883. Apologies if I am asking too much but being in lockdown in UK is hard going when you are nearly 70. Thank you Pam

I’ll leave you to it, Pam.

Hope you get somewhere

There is a lot of mystery surrounding the Thompson Ellis family that's what I am trying to unravel . Thank you

From a relative of William and Mary

Yes, we’ve seen that, so no need to keep mentioning it

You’re not answering the questions about how you have arrived at the idea that the man who married in 1876 was born in 1842 in Ireland

All info about the 1929 Death is for a man whose wife was HARRIET.

It is posted above.

On Find My Past the marriage for William James Thompson and Mary Ann Ellis is given as 1876 Victoria Australia, in the Victoria Marriages 1836-1942 Registration number 679

That still doesn’t tell us anything about where and when he was born

What is the source of your info about that? Do you have any documentary evidence?

The man who died in 1929 does not appear to be the one who married Mary Ellis, unless there were two men of the name born in the same year
