Thomas J Thompson

Thomas Jefferson Thompson according to Attestation papers from Canada BEF was born 27 March 1891 in Birmingham England. His father was called William and he was a Salvationist.

I am looking for military history which is only available in Canada or Census history between 1891 and 1920. Who was he, was he married to Pearl as shown in the 1920 Census or were they just living together. Did he divorce Pearl as he married my Grandmother in England in 1920. His Mother or Father was not English, we believe there was a connection with Spain. Any help from USA, Texas region or Canada re Military would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thomas came back to England with the Canadian BEF, he had been living in Texas and the USA since a small child. My mother said there had been a name change but not sure if this was a surname or Christian name. I can find him in the 1920 census of Texas along with a wife Pearl and family, may have also found him in 1910 in USA Army, prior to that no records. My mother always said her names of Elsie and Dorothy pertained to his sisters. His first child with my grandmother Rose Burfoot is called Jessica. This may have been his mothers name.

I am seeking info on his family, his father is named William, any info from the USA members re this line would be appreciated, his first wife was Jennie Pearl Garrison.
