1911-1960. No Cheshire death with a roughly correct age on bmd!!. Nor for Sarah. Too common names to be worth while pursuing! No probate record 1911-1935
A Harry Thompson, aged 71, dies Hastings December 1928 born ~1857- Ancestry deaths
From Donaldbrown Ancestry Public tree, Sarah Thompson dies 3/4/1920 - I have sent him a message through ancestry 29/11/2013 - not directly descended from Thompsons, but only 43 people on his tree. Cannot find this death on bmd/Ancestry deaths. He might have her 1858 b.c. But he also has Harry Thompson dying 1900- which is rubbish!!! he is desended from the daiughter of Harry Thompson 1909, grandson of Harry 1857, son of Harry 1880.
