  • George Trussell Thompson

    Can anyone help with my Thompson's Leicester/Warwickshire.

    John marries Emily Sarah Wright in Leicester then Mary 1888 Birmingham

    Have found him 1901 I believe

    1901 Census of Canada
    Name: John Thompson

    Age: 54
    Birth Day & Month: 3 Nov
    Birth Year: 1846
    Birthplace: England
    Relation to Head of House: Head
    Immigration Year: 1893
    Racial or Tribal Origin: English
    Nationality: Canadian
    Religion: Methodist

    John Thompson 54
    Mary J Thompson 40
    Mary E Thompson 3

    He has always been a butcher by trade, then nothing.

    Then I came upon George Trussell Thompson's military records,

    George Trussell Thompson on WW1 Draft Registration card
    Born 1895 in Canada
    World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918
    Name: George Trussell Thompson

    State: Maine
    Birthplace: New Brunswick
    Birth Date: 26 Dec 1895
    Race: Caucasian (White)
    FHL Roll Number: 1654012
    DraftBoard: 2

    Name: George T. Thompson
    Serial Number: 3146038
    Birth Place: Canada
    Birth Date: 26 Dec 1895
    Residence: Orrington
    Comment: Ind: Bangor, Penobscot Co. No. 2, June 26/18. Cpl Nov. 1/18. Org: 151 Dep Brig to disch. Overseas service: None. Hon disch on demob: Dec. 12, 1918

    George being the grandson of John as John had a son born c1868 with the same name and Trussell as a middle name as it is an old family name.

    Basically, George T marries Julia Fellows 1893 and then I can't find them at all after that, George the younger appears 1920 and then marries Odessa Brigham Oct 1922 and by 1926 she is living with someone else.

    I don't have any passenger records for anyone or a birth for George T in Canada and was hoping someone might find something or advise me where to look

          Odessa L Thompson married Ernest L Edgerly 1942 Maine. I don't have a worldwide sub to view all the details.

              In between is a Mr Munn who she has 2 children with, 1925 and 26. Have been in touch with the person who detailed the marriages but he was not chasing George's family so didn't give me anything else to go on

                Hullo Elaine,

                I have recently begun tracing my husband's ancestors. His grandfather was Charles William Thompson born in Birmingham, England on 20 November 1898, son of George Trussell Thompson and Julia Thompson (formerly Fellows). I have a copy of Charles' birth certificate. Their address is shown as 11 Court 8?, Warwick Street, Aston, Birmingham. I don't know what happened to them after that, as I have also been unable to find other records, although I haven't been looking very long, having just received the copy birth certificate from my mother in law. There is a family story that Charles (also known as Henry Charles which is what is on his marriage certificate, and his daughters birth certificate) was orphaned.

                Do you have the marriage details of George T and Julia?
                Also I was interested to learn of John's second marriage to Mary, as I wasn't aware of that.

                I would be very interested to know anything else about the family that you have found out.

                  Well, where to begin!

                  The family come from Leicester originally, here's everyone on a later census

                  Thompson George Trussel Birmingham 6d/104

                  FELLOWS Julia Victoria A Birmingham Warwickshire 1873 Apr-May-Jun

                  George T Occupation Farmer
                  Mother's name Julia Fellows

                  I have a lot leading up to Birmingham but not the marriage certifcate of George T to Julia, nor the second marriage of John.
                  I can't find anything for them in Canada, do have John though, will pm you
