William Thompson was my great great grandfather. His daughter Mary Elizabeth Thompson was my great grandmother which is why I am researching the Thompsons. Sarah Thompson didn't come into things when I re researched them a few years ago.
Hi Toni, I've added some sources to this profile. I think it's the right William Thompson. Let me know if you think that it's not right and we can work on it together. Gillian
