Dear Louis

Thanks for getting back to me.

There is a baptism listed on www.irishgenealogy.ie for a Joseph Thompson, baptised on 9th June 1782 in the Church of Ireland Parish of St. John's, Dublin. Joseph's father was listed as Richard and is mother Hannah or 'Hanh' as is recorded.

You could use this free site to search for other children of Richard and Hannah and for their marriage record.

The Register Number is: Book Number Page Entry Number Record_Identifier 3 66 N/R DU-CI-BA-96519 Let me know what you think!

I knew that. I need more.

Dear Louis

Have you tried using the site above to search for other children of Richard and Hannah or for Anne's baptism? There is a John listed in another parish in 1774 and an Anne in 1787 who may be siblings of your Joseph? As this is a free site, you can spend all the time you like searching on it. 

Have a look and perhaps you will also be able to find a marriage for these two (assuming they didn't emigrate too). I didn't see a marriage for Richard and Hannah though. 

This link will give you an idea of the civil parishes involved:

Your search is quite early, so it would be difficult to link those mentioned above to the 1901/1911 Census with any accuracy as there are a lot of Thompson entries in 1901:

Do you think there are any further sources you could check your side that would provide any further information about the family?
