Hi, im new to this site so not sure how it all works..
I am currently researching my thompson heritage.
But haven’t got far as stuck on my 3rd great grandfather
William Thompson born abt 1820 Newcastle area and died 1881 Wallsend (registration tynemouth)
Married Rachel Thompson born abt 1825 Newcastle area (maiden name unknown yet)
Children:
Margaret Thompson 1849-1902
Married William Renwick
William Henry Thompson 1858-1937 Newcastle
Married Sarah Thompson (maiden name unknown)
Census for William & Rachel also have children as renwicks so I’m a little confused!! They look like they are neighbours at one point and then daughter Margaret marries a Renwick.
Any advise on this would be hugely appreciated.
Many thanks x

Hi and Wecome.
This looks like the birth registrations for Margaret and William:
THOMPSON, MARGARET
Mother's maiden surname: SCOTT
GRO Reference: 1849 M Quarter in NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE UNION Volume 25 Page 376
THOMPSON, WILLIAM HENRY
Mother's maiden surname: SCOTT
GRO Reference: 1858 D Quarter in NEW CASTLE UPON TYNE Volume 10B Page 50
Margaret married in 1869 and in 1871 she and her husband and son are living with her parents and brother. Is that the census you are talking about?

Hi thanks for your reply, that if fab the birth records with mmn I have not come across these before! I will do some research on a Rachel Scott.
Also yes it was the 1871 census in Wallsend (street unreadable)that had me confused as it states the following
William Thompson. Head. 57
Rachel thompson. Wife. 52
William Renwick. Son. 23
Margaret Renwick. Daughter. 22
William Thompson. Son. 12
Michael Thompson. Grandson. 3
I think with the grandson as a thompson it’s thrown me a bit!!
Thanks x

Michael was born before the marriage so was a THOMPSON. In 1881 he is William RENWICK's stepson so probably a fair indication that someone else was the father.

It looks like Sarah's maiden surname was LAVENDER. You can search for the children's births here in the GRO indexes (free but you have to register):

Isaac has been indexed as a female.

Thank you Dundee10 I really appreciate all your help on this.
It’s so frustrating when you hit a brick wall and are not knowledgeable enough to know where to look!

abt 1862
FATHER
■ William Lavender
SIBLINGS
■ James J Lavender
■ Mary R Lavender

MOTHER
■ Hannah Lavender
An 1881 census has her as Sarah Thompson

I haven’t found a marriage record yet either, but it’s two different birth locations for her? Am I looking at two different people do you think?

I don’t think LAVENDER is the one for Sarah?
