Thompson

[Alan Thompson]

Hi,
I am new to the forum and am researching MOUNSEY and TOWERS in the Lorton area and THOMPSON in Workington. Have had to file the THOMPSON file in the 'too difficult' tray for now. Have reached a problem with one of my MOUNSEY ancestors which perhaps somebody could give me guidance. I have James Mounsey listed as a police constable in the 1891 census, but does not appear in the 1901 census. A trawl through 1837online shows no record of death so am at a loss. He could I suppose have emigrated?
Any help/thoughts would be much appreciated.

Regards to all

Alan

I have seen on the 1901 decoder a James Mounsey living in Cumberland.

The decoder groups people up with the same name that appear on the same page.
In the civil parish, St Cuthbert Without
James 32, county police contable, Easton Cokemouth
Jane 29, Beaton Workington
John 5, Beaton Workington
Alexander 3,Carlise Brisco
Eleanor 1, Carlise Brisco

There is also a possible marriage on freeBMD
1894 Dec quarter Cockermouth 10b 943
Mounsey James
Sandelands Jane Forrester

Good luck,
Jo :)

Hi Alan
I too have Thompsons from Workington and they are a nightmare. I would be interested to know what you have and maybe we can compare notes.

Hi Alan,Like you and Joan I have some Thompson ancestors from Workington (I think). Perhaps we all have some connections??

I still live nearby so if anyone needs a Thompson look-up on PR etc just LMK! I dont get to RO often so u will have to be patient ;-)
I have my tree on genesconnected if you are a member and want to see it. If you search Eber Thompson should get you to me, doubt anyone else has one of that name lol

Joan,

I have reached back pre 1837 and living so far away I find it hard to confirm what I have found on the IGI. Would love to know next time you are going to the RO maybe I can give you what I have for confirmation?
Thanks for lovely offer!

Hi Jo

Thanks for the info, sorry for not replying sooner but spent a week in the RO at Whitehaven and brought home masses a lot of info that has taken time to assimilate. I think there may be some word errors, I reckon that Beaton Workington should be Seaton Workington but Easton Cokemouth could be Seaton Cockermouth? only a guess that lot.

Thanks again

Alan

I agree Beaton is probably Seaton but Easton Cockermouth could possibly be Embleton.
