Thank you for trying to help me with this family search.
John Alexander
Thompson (brother of my grandmother) was born on or about 6 Sept. 1871 in Walkerton, Bruce, Ontario. He was the son of James
Thompson and
Flora McDonald. John married Mary
Torrance on 25 Oct. 1899 in
Paris,
Brant, Ontario. Mary
Torrance was born 29 Sept. 1873 in
Paris, to John
Torrance and Margaret Allison. On the marriage register, the 1901 Census and the 1911 Census, John is listed as a barber. According to the 1911 census they lived on Walnut Street,
Paris. They are also listed as being
Baptist denomination.
According to his father's obituary (James
Thompson 4 Apr 1914) John Alexander
Thompson lived in
Paris. According to his mother's obituary (
Flora McDonald
Thompson 13 Nov 1928) John lived in
Hamilton.
I do not know the date of death of either John Alexander
Thompson nor Mary
Torrance McDonald and am hoping the burials at
Woodland,
Wentworth are the correct people.
The other enquiry that I posted was for any information regarding Leslie McDonald who attended the funeral of
Flora McDonald
Thompson - I would dearly love to know his connection to my grandmother but at the moment I know nothing about this person.
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
