JOHN THOMPSON Cannot identify HI Gary, could this be the same John & family ? 1918 absent voters register at 34 Joyson street, Broughton. John THOMPSON 29320 Sapper R.E. Joseph THOMPSON 29320 Sapper R.E. ( strange he has the same service & regiment) 1911@ 50 Brighton street, Salford. William Thompson 41 Head Elizabeth Thompson 40 Wife John Thompson 21 Alice Thompson 18 Jane Thompson 15 Ellen Thompson 13 Joseph Thompson 11 Harry Thompson 9 Edward Thompson 1913 directory @ 32 Joyson street, Broughton William Thompson Fried fish dealer. I can find a medal card for Joseph with the 29320 number but not a John? Ben |

Thanks Ben,
Same regiment and service number is almost certainly a clerical error. This is another one that will have to wait till I visit the library.
