Looking for any information on the following Elizabeth, James and Charles. The last mention of them that I can fine is in the 1901 census. The lived at 16 Beresford St., Woolwich. Their mother Catherine was a widow by this time. Father was James Thompson from Derby. I have all the information that I need on their sister Ethel, as she is my grandmother. As their are only 2 surviving dependants from Ethel, the search is rather hard.
Thank you for any help.

Look for possible marriages on freebmd.........

You will know from the census roughly when they were born, so start from when each would have been 16

I am inclined to believe that the James I'm looking for is James Frederick Thompson as James Herbert died Mar. Qtr. 1902. I too have found most of the information that you all have so kindly sent. The records are riddled with misspelling etc., so it is possible that it is my James that married Winifred Boorer. Catherine Thompson's maiden name was Boorer and they lived with in doors of each other. I do like to confirm that a subject is mine before I break down and buy the cert. I'll just have to keep digging. Thank you all.
