The connection to the Thompson family from Scarborough is probably through Alfred's mother whose surname was Thompson and she was born in Scarborough.

what do you think is the connection to the Thompson family of Scarborough?

It's not obvious to me.

Do you think his mother was a Thompson?

Or do you think he married a Thompson?

According to the 1911 Census, Mary Elizabeth's parents, Thomas and Elizabeth, had been married for 47 years, they had had 12 children and 2 had died by 1911.



Are these the Thompsons' that you want to link Alfred to?

SylviaInCanada Report 2 May 2015 06:38

I found them on all the censuses on ancestry, plus baptisms, etc


but do not want to post information needlessly.

You don't say what information you already have!
