Thompson's of County Down

Hi,

I am seeking help in finding any information about my 2x Great Grandparents SAMUEL THOMPSON and SARAH who'smaiden name was KENNEDY. The only information Ihave is from the Marriage Certificate of their youngest son DAVID THOMPSON who was married in Sydney, Australia in February 1863.

This Certificate lists Samuel as a farmer of County Down (no further information) David died in July 1900 and his Death certificate names his place of birth as Belfast.

Family names were: Francis, Samuel, Alexander, William,Hugh, Joseph, Mary, Margaret, Sarah, Jane.

These names do not appear to follow the usual naming patterns.

If anyone could help it would be really appreciated. (my brick wall for the past 10+ years)

Regards

Sue
