I have on a census from 1861 in London; Frederick Thompson and his brother Joseph.
Listed to Joseph Thompson ( Baker ) & wife Elizabeth as "Nephews"
second wife also in London.
and married another Joseph with the same surname.
All came from Lincolnshire ?
Thankyou for your Kind reply.
My main Trouble is .. how can the nephews to a Joseph also have a Joseph as father ?
In case it helps Joseph and Frederick's mother's maiden name was Heardson - from GRO site.
They may not have been Nephews in the strict sense of the word,but a little more distant,perhaps children of cousins rather than actual brothers.
Thankyou..You People are so Kind.
The Trouble also arose as I can´t find either Joseph on the 1871 census.
The older Born 1816 transfered from the Police force to sheriffs officer.
They all could have died of course,except Frederick who moved to Birmingham.
Mary Ann also has Heardson as her mothers maiden name,but I can't find a marriage that fits.
