William JOHN Thompson b. 1878 is brother to Robert Henry. I think he married Emily Cunningham, not sure, and had Maggie 1906, Edna 1908, and William John 1910 per 1911 census. Are you referring to him? I am following Amsterdam Thompsons from Joshua and (probably)son Samuel's son Robert Henry arrives in NY in 1907 a few months earlier than your Robert. You can see him go to Joseph Acheson in Amsterdam while your Robert goes to AZ and mentions his father living in Bleary on ellisisland I have Porters in my tree, but don't see any connected to Thompsons, Pages, or Cunninghams yet. Porters are common at the Knocknamuckley church. Margaret Alexander is not a common name at all. I live near the State of Washington and census records and will see what I can figure out. If you look for Pages, look for Peggs too as the names are interchanged commonly. There were many near Corcreany near Bleary and Ellen Pegg/Page is common. THomas Page and Ellen Carson are probably the parents of your Ellen if they have child Ellen. Can't see any signs of that yet. Thomas lived in Ballydougan in 1860 and Bleary with dau Sarah Canavan in the 1901 census. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
