Thompson in your posting was my husband's great-grandfather through his son George Wendell. I've been trying to find info on him for several years with no success -- always thought he was from England, but found out yesterday via internet he was from Ontario, Canada. He married Susan Caroline Varner in St. Clair, IL in 1867 and they had 6 children. I have their Marriage Cert. Your posting says you have a photo of Robt. W. Any chance I could get a copy? This is MOST exciting! The 1880 census shows his father came from England and his mother from New York. Would love to find out more info on them -- and also on Robt. W's birth which was around 1844. Did your 1851 census that lists his name with Anna show an age for him? Yours truly, Janet Thompson lvtomnjan@juno.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
