George Thomson/Thompson ~1791-<1851 & wife Elizabeth Unknown

George born likely around Ancroft, Berwick[ then in Durham] and worked in the mines as a coal steward. Elizabeth born Chatton - 35k S of Ancroft

[1816 marriage of a George Thompson to an Elizabeth Reed in Whalton- Whalton ~85 k S of Berwick ]- this not him: other baptisms exist down around there

No marriage on FS, FMP or Ancestry

1816-1823 The following children were baptised in Wooler Presbyterian to George & Elizabeth Thomson: Catherine 1816, Isobella 1817, Thomas 1819, Ann 1821 & Alexander 1823 &

1828-1834 in Glanton Presbyterian to George & Elizabeth Thompson: William 1828, Mary 1831 & George 1834 . Glanton ~ 16 k N of Wooler

Wooler - 6k W of Chatton, 6k S of Doddington . Ford~ 14 k N of Chatton. No baptism found for Jane Thompson 1832 to the couple on FS - possible she was baptised as Mary? . Glanton ~60 k N of Ford , 16 k N of Wooler. Jane claims to have been born Ford in 1861C.

George and Elizabeth seemingly were thus likely in Wooler 1816-1823 and then in Glanton 1828-1834 ,[maybe further N to Ford in 1832] , but back up N to Ancroft by 1841
