I wonder if someone would be good enough to look up Alexander Thompson in the 1871 census for me please. He was born in St. Anthonys Newcastle upon Tyne abt 1865. The 1881 census show him as a soldier in barracks in Newcastle upon Tyne. In the 1901 census he was married to a Susan Ralston they were living in Newcastle uponTyne. Sorry I do not know if he had any siblings, hoping the 1871 census will show me.
Thank you John S
