Hi Ann, Here is what I have on the family of Ellen Thompson, who married Arthur Burns: 1870 Federal Census Robert Thompson head of household age 38 male white Day laborer born Ireland Margaret E. Thompson age 34 keeping house born Canada Letitia J. Thompson age 15 born Canada Robert Thompson age 13 born Canada David J. Thompson age 11 born Canada Arthur W. Thompson age 9 born Canada Mary A.

Thompson age 21 born Canada birth of parents same as above Arthur W. J. Thompson age 17 born Canada ditto on parents Mary A. L. Thompson age 15 born New York ditto on parents Ellen R. Thompson age 9 born New York ditto on parents Other information on the Thompson family: Robert Thompson (of Gananoque Canada West) and Margaret Eliza Boyd (of Edwardsburgh Canada West) were married on May 16, 1851 at St. John's Episcopal Church in Ogdensburg, NY. This information was obtained from actual church records for St. John's Episcopal Church. The film number for this information is 1310660 item 4. This film is in the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. Robert John Boyd and Isabella Hodge (both of Edwardsburgh Canada West) were married on March 22, 1851 in St. John's Episcopal Church , Ogdensburg, NY. I do not know whether Robert John Boyd was a sibling of the Margaret Boyd who married Robert Thompson. Letitia J. Thompson, daughter of Robert Thompson and Margaret Eliza Boyd, married Fidel Kaiser/Keyser. They had at least one child named Lucy. I found information on the internet for a Robert William Thompson (Bob) buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, in Guelph, Ontario Province. Guelph might be in Wellington Co. I have not contacted Woodlawn Cemetery to find out the dates for Robert W. Thompson. Mary A. L. Thompson/aka May A. Thompson married Walter David Hamilton on Dec 25, 1889, in Chicago, IL. This is confirmed. I looked up the marriage in a marriage record index for Chicago. The minister never returned the marriage license. Do you know where Ellen Burns, wife of Arthur Burns, is buried? I would also like to know where Arthur Burns is buried. Sharyn Brackett ____________________________________________________________ SHOCKING: 13" Macbook Pro for $91.72!
