Ok, this has been bugging me for a while now so I was hoping to use someone elses expertise on this mystery. So far in my research of my history I have managed to get as far back as my great great great grandfather Finlay Thompson born 1827. He had 6 children (This is confirmed on the 1871 census). Their names are... Finlay Thomas Thompson (1853) Sarah Julia Thompson (1855) Christiana Mary Thompson (1857) Peter Thomas Thompson (1858) Emily Thompson (1862) Samuel Charles Thompson (1864) They are all born in or around Lambeth. However both Finlay Thomas Thompson and Peter Thomas Thompson disappear from all records after that census. I would be extreamly greatful if somebody could help me find them. Many thanks Jacqueline
