You haven't given her name. If you also put America or Texas in your heading you may attract someone who can search that country for you.

Maria, do you know if they married in this country or America?

Might his name actually be Abel? Adele is much more usually a girl's name (but some people are different). Was he American or English?

I think you need to check a few facts like looking for her birth on FreeBMD http://www.freebmd.org.uk so you can at least give us accurate info about her age.

Thompson is just as common a surname in US as it is here so we need as much info as possible to narrow it down.
