Albert was born in 1855. He is the son of Thomas Thompson and Mary Dempster.
I am assuming he belongs here... though it is not explicit... but he is tied into the family via the Thompson grave stone.
He had a son, mentioned in his will and also that of Blanche Thompson (see references below). However, I cannot find a marriage.

DEATH
On the Family Gravestone there is an Albert F Thompson d. 1885...
(And on one records it says Albert A., but the actual writing is very bad, so transcription errors are inevitable.)

On one of these is mentioned a residence at 1317 Spring Garden Street...
Here is his will reference:
in the Pennsylvania, Wills and Probate Records, 1683-1993 Name: Albert F Thompson Probate Date: 2 May 1884 Probate Place: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Inferred Death Year: Abt 1884 Inferred Death Place: Pennsylvania, USA Item Description: Wills, No 741-775, 1885 Table of Contents 18 images Will Papers 1–3 Administration Papers 4 Cover Page 5 Inventory Papers 6–14 Petition Papers 15–17 Will Papers 18
I think 1884 is the date of the will, not the probate. The Administration papers are dated 15 July 1885.
One of the Executors is Lewis A Thompson... mentioned as his brother. So That confirms the middle name of Allen for him.
And Albert's son Albert Lewis Thompson, who is on the Thompson grave stone...
It is also mentioned that Albert F was an Administrator of the estate of Helen A Thompson deceased - another difficult-to-identify names on the Thompson grave stone. B.1856 d. 1883. Was she a sister? No. She was "married" according to the death record. Therefore I think it is fair to assume that Helen was Albert F's wife. Looks very likely. And it also looks likley that she died in childbirth
Here is Albert F's son:
