Mary On checking the IGI, Joseph may be the son of Agnes Thompson baptised at Bampton 12/04/1817. Regards, Christopher Darvill -----Original Message----- From: eng-westmorland-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-westmorland-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Mary Sent: 02 January 2009 23:28 To: ENG-WESTMORLAND@rootsweb.com Subject: [ENG-WESTMORLAND] Robert Thompson, 1842, Bampton Dear Listers, I am trying to help a friend find out about their ancestor Robert Thompson, born c. 1842 in Bampton, Westmorland. He first appears on the 1951 census at Hartsop, Patterdale living in the family of his uncle Joseph Thompson, also born Bampton, aged 33 and a tailor. Joseph's wife is Elizabeth (Brunskill), and children Wilson, Agnes . Then there is Robert aged 9 years, nephew. Robert married Mary Nixon in 1866, when he was a husbandman at Kirkstonefoot. No information is given about his parents, although details of Mary's are given. Likewise when Joseph married Elizabeth in 1846, no parental details were given. It is believed that Jospeh was born in 1817, the illegitimate son of Agnes Thompson. There appears to have been a sister Martha born in 1820, also illegitimate. Could she be Robert's mother? Robert and Mary's children were Thomas, born 1867, Isabella born 1869, Mary Elizabeth 1871, Ann 1874, and Robert 1876. Robert Thompson's birth does not appear to have been registered. Is anyone else researching this family and can anyone offer any suggestions re Robert's parentage?

Dear Shawn, Brilliant. This sounds likely as it ties him in to Jospeh.
