This looks like his death:-

Name: THOMPSON, Samuel
Registration district: East Elloe
County: Lincolnshire
Year of registration: 1961
Quarter of registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Age at death:78
Volume no: 3B
Page no: 39

This age at death (if it's correct would put his birth at around 1883).

Hello there, samuel was a farm labourer from dawesmere and his fathers previous occupation was the same. The witnesses were charles henry gosling (brides father) and an Ethel (perhaps as first name hard to read) Jeffery. The church is at Gedney Drove End
Thanks for your questions :)

Hello Flicky - what was Samuel's occupation on his marriage certificate? Did it give an address for him?

Were the witnesses possible family members?

These might give us a clue ....

I am at a brick wall and not sure where to go next. I have purchased the marriage cert of a relative whom i know to be Samuel Thompson and his wife Sarah Ann Gosling in holbeach in 1916 (this is the area associated with this family to my knowledge) From his age at marriage i know he was born around 1888. His father is listed as James Thompson, deceased. The trouble is i cannot find samuel, there are too many options coming up on Ancestry and none of them is obviously the samuel i am looking for. There may be a possibilty of a Durham, Norwich connection. I feel that should be enough info to get me going but just cant think how. Can anyone help me work out a next step?
