Hi, I googled and found this - THOMPSON, William died 10.03.1904 Advertiser Saturday 12 March 1904 Mr. W Thompson died at his residence, Terminus Hotel, Glenelg,on Thursday night. The deceased gentleman was born in Longon in 1837 and served his time as a gasfitter, in which trade he was thoroughly competent. His last work was the outdoor gasfittings for ilummation purposes at the Jubillee Exhibition Ground, for which he received the high commendation of the Superintendnet of Public Buildings. He left London in 1859, and on arrival in Victoria was employed at the Geelong Gasworks, of which his brother-in-law (Mr. S R Scottock) was managing engineer. He left Victoria in 1863 for Adelaide, under engagement to the South Australian Gas Company, and fitted up the illuminations on the occasion of the visit of the Duke of Edinburgh. Later he accepted the position of manager of the Launceston Gas Company, and on returning to this State, again was employed at the Provincial Gasworks, Thebarton. In 1878 he became licensee of the Family Hotel, Glenelg, and afterwards of the Broadway and Terminus Hotels. For a while he was engaged in making out the census returns. Mr. Thompson left a widow and for sons and daughters, who are grown up. The deceased had many friends and was greatly respected.
