Hi All,
Im struggling to get past my great grandparents....
It took me a long time to track these two down as my grandads parents, as very little is know of my Thompson side, i even traced the wrong family for years before DNA testing!
I apologise if my research is wrong but i believe it to be correct!
Mary Ann Cain/Kane and Joseph Thompson have their first son Joseph in 1905, they then get married in 1908 in Newcastle.
1911 census Joseph snr a miner and young Joseph can be found in Seghill boarding at the Old Institute. Showing as married.
Whilst Mary is recorded in Tynemouth workhouse as a patient, under the name Mary Thompson but showing as single and a school char woman.
In 1914 the have their first daughter Mary Jane.
In the same year young Joseph is sent to Industrial school from Buddle primary in Wallsend. Young Mary Jane is raised by a relative on the Cain side of the family a Catherine Pearson.
After this the records come up blank. What happened to Joseph and Mary to not be with their children and seem to disappear..
Mary Jane Married a John Weatherstone Went.
Joseph Married Eliza Jane Alderson.(my Grandparents)
Any pointers, tips, advise would be amazing!

It might be helpful if you added some dates & places, ie when & where was everyone born, and when & where did the children marry?
Also how have you confirmed the information that Joseph Jr was at an industrial school and that Mary Jane was raised by Catherine Pearson?
It's very difficult for us to help unless we have the same information that you do, to give us a 'starting point'.

Welcome to the British-Genealogy forums
Joseph Thompson and Mary Ann Cain married reg district Newcastle T. March 1/4 1908 vol 10b page 196. Do you have this marriage certificate for them. If so what are the father's names and occupations?
GRO index birth reg Joseph Thompson registered Tynemouth June 1/4 vol10b page245. Mother's maiden name Cain
Be aware there is also a Joseph Thompson birth registered September 1/4 reg dist Ecclesall Bierlow 9c/368 with the mmn Cain.
Joseph snr is a coal miner (hewer) in 1911 and in 1901 there is a Joseph Thompson age 28, coal miner (hewer) born Sheild Row Durham, He is single and boarding with the Parry family at 1,Short Terrace Thornley Durham. Bt there are other contenders so the marriage certificate is needed to see if a father's name is on there.

Hi thanks for your replies. I have the marriage cert of Joseph and Mary, Josephs father is also Joseph and Mary's father is William.
I know Mary Jane was brought up by a relative as I have spoke to her Grandaughter who was able to advise who it was that raised her.
I managed to find a record which included my grandads date of birth, it was a month out. This was him being sent to Industrial School from Buddle school in wallsend.states fathers name as Joseph Thompson.
I also have a possible 2nd Marriage for Joseph snr to a Lillian Kennedy in 1923 North Shields, not sure how accurate this one is tho.
Thanks, Lisa

Some possible records, though I'd have more confidence in them could I find the 1891 census where hopefully Mary Ann born 1883/4 is with the family.
