    1. [THOMPSON] THOMPSON Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Wilfred Arthur THOMPSON which was taken at a studio in Idaho Springs, Colorado. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Wilfred appearing to be in his early teens at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following census information with a possible match: 1900 census of Idaho Springs, CO: William J. THOMPSON, age 46, born Apr 1854, married 24 years, born England, parents born England, to USA 1887, a Painter Ellen E. THOMPSON, wife, age 51, born May 1849, married 24 years, 9 children/7 living, born England, parents born England, to USA 1887 Leonard THOMPSON, son, age 21, born Aug 1878, born England, a Barber Maud THOMPSON, dau, age 19, born Jun 1880, born England Arthur THOMPSON, son, age 18, born Dec 1881, born England, a Painter Wilfred G. THOMPSON, son, age 13, born Nov 1886, born England, at School Dick C. THOMPSON, son, age 9, born Jan 1890, born CO Bertram THOMPSON, son, age 7, born Jun 1892, born CO 1920 census of Silver City, NM: Wilfred THOMPSON, age 33, born England, parents born England, an Engineer Minnie THOMPSON, wife, age 26, born NM, parents born MO/Mexico John E. THOMPSON, son, age 7, born NM Gladys THOMPSON, dau, age 4 years + 4 months, born NM Chester THOMPSON, son, age 1 year + 1 month, born NM I am hoping to locate someone from Wilfred's family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
