Doug I don't have much of this either - I wouldn't mind the Gedcom(s)! -----Original Message----- From: Doug Thompson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 29 July 2003 22:54 To: [email protected] Subject: [HWK] News on the THOMPSON line - (Marilyn Moffatt, Annie Thompson, John Crump and me) I hope this is news. Don't tell me you knew it all before! Up till today my line for Anna JAMES, the mother of Mary Jane THOMPSON (who married Edward THOMPSON) stopped with her parents' names. I don't know why because an hour with the Hawkesbury Parish register has extended it a long way today. Her father, William JAMES is on the burial register 9 Jan 1842 aged 88 giving birth at 1754. He appears on the baptisms 29 Mar 1754 son of John and Mary. It then appears likely that his father was christened 25 Sep 1724, son of Daniel JAMES. John was buried 29 Jan 1788. Anna's mother went even better. William JAMES married Mary STIFF 28 Jan 1784. Mary was buried 2 Jan 1825 aged 83 giving a birthdate of 1742. I already had her on my files! She was baptised 2 Dec 1744, daughter of John STIFF and Anne (née MARSH). Anne is the great granddaughter of John MARSH, who is James THOMPSON's (Mary Jane's father) 4-greats grandfather completing another circle. If anyone wants any more details get in touch with me.
