Hi there

My name is Andy Thompson and I'm looking for family in Sheffield. 3 generations of my family were born in Sheffield. My father, grandfather and great grandfather. My great grandfather Herbert Thompson married Alice Startup in Ecclesall in 1929.

Would love to find any of my family :)

What were your grand parents first names..
I'm a Thompson, but not sure of the names of my great grand parents, only the names of my grand parents..
Oh, and I have a brother called Andrew..:suspect:
Is that you ?? :suspect:

My grandfather was John Leslie Thompson. I'm not your brother lol. I only have 1 brother

:D I did wonder there for a minute.. :hihi:
Are you doing the family tree by any chance ??
I know my location says Kimberworth, but I am Sheffield born and bred as is most, if not all of my family..
Edit to add, I only know my family tree on my dads side, the Thompson side, as far back as my grand parents.. So, I may not be of much help to you.. :)

yeah i am. my great grandfather was herbert thompson. any relation?

Like I said, I don't know my great grand parents names, only my grand parents names..
My Grandad was called Francis Thompson..
Any relation ?? :D

not sure. i only know a few names. i have a great aunt heather who was my grandfathers sister

Hmmm.. I'm not sure.. My dad is no longer with us, so asking him is out of the question, but I can ask my mum and contact my aunts and uncles and ask them..
Throw some more names at me, and I will ask if any of them are within my family..

this is the problem i only know those 3! do you have any relations in hartlepool in county durham?

Hello Andy,

Is the tree on Ancestry yours?

Are you trying to come forward in time to find living relatives, or to go back in time to Herbert's and Alice's parents etc?

Hugh (not a relative)

I'm looking for both! Want to know where my family originate from but would love to get in touch with living relatives.

And the family tree on Ancestry? I know if must be you or a close relative as the latest generation listed are grandchildren of John Leslie Thompson. (and I don't want to quote what you already know! )

Hugh

Hey there Hugh,

I do have a tree on Ancestry.co.uk but I Haven't inputted much on to it. I'm mainly using genesreunited.co.uk. I believe another member of my family also uses ancestry. Any info you would help

Kind regards

Andy

Any Thompson's or Startup's out there
