Following up the recent messages about THOMPSONS in Bath, I found the following in the Bathwick Registers while looking for a marriage between Joseph COOPER and Mary THOMPSON. There is no obvious connection with Hawkesbury, however. Bathwick [St Mary] Parish Register >From CMB fiche at Bath Record Office N.B.
