Does anyone know anything about the people Travelling on the canals around the Lancashire area. ?
I am trying to find information on John William Thompson Born approx 1913 so far I have not been able to find a birth record for him. Is this common for the travelling communities not to register the childrens birth ?
His brother Edward Thompson was born 1 oct 1914 @ the Ring O'bells Inn at Lathom, Burscough, Lancashire.
He married Lily Gledhill 15/4/1933 In Burnley. His age shows as 19 ( Lily was 17 )
We think that his Father was Thomas Thompson ( Born abt 1892 and died between 1913 and 1933 ) and His mother was Sarah Jane Stansfield B: 13/09/1891 and Died late 1971
any help would be appreeciated
Thanks
Emma
