Find Ancestors

Hello, I'm trying to piece together my wife's family tree. I was using another well known ancestry website, but due to hitting a brick wall on the Thompson side, I thought I'd try here too.

I'm pretty much okay with the maternal side of the family - it goes from Thompson, to Welham, to Royal - but the Thompson side is proving a little allusive.

I've managed to find out who my wife's great grandparents were - Frank Clive Thompson and Mary Ann Williams (but as yet have no birth or death dates) - but after trying census records, I've discovered there are so many Thompson's in the Pembrokeshire area, I have no idea where to start :-)

Does anyone have info regarding the Thompson family in the Pembrokeshire area? This is the info I have so far:

Rosemary Thompson (1966 - Alive ) My wife
Beryl Thompson (1938 - 2008 ) Her Mum
Lennox Thompson (1907 - ? ) Her Grandfather
Charlotte Welham (1914 - 1976 ) Her Grandmother
Frank Thompson ( ? - ? ) Her Great Grandfather
Mary Ann Williams ( ? - ? ) Her Great Grandmother

Hope I've made sense with this - thanks in advance for any help given :-)

I suggest we start with Lennox. Have you found the family in 1911?
If not, where was he born?

I see the above is correct! Do you have his birth cert?

If this is their marriage, the census below looks like it might be Mary 1911??

An Ancestry tree has Frank as Frank Clive Storey Thompson. If so, this might well be his death:

Mike, this is his son, as on 1911.
If you don't have their marriage cert you definitely need it. He could have been born anywhere!
