• Notes

  Important research on Samuel Thompson The St. Philip Parish records in Birmingham, England, show that Samuel, son of Benjamin and Ann Thompson was baptized on 7 June 1811. The baptism record does not show which Benjamin and Ann Thompson were the parents, and does not give a birth date for Samuel, and does not list a mother's maiden name. Descendants of Benjamin and Ann Lewis Thompson have an early family note which reads, "Joseph Lewis Thompson was born in Birmingham, Warwick, England, on February 8, 1815. He was the son of Benjamin Thompson and Ann Lewis ... Very little is known of the family or his brothers and sisters; however, the following is known: His father had two brothers. Their names were Samuel and John. One of them went to Australia and the other to New Zealand. His brother [Joseph's brother], Benjamin died as a child." Because of that note, descendants of Benjamin and Ann Lewis have searched for a birth record of a Samuel Thompson to a Benjamin and Ann Thompson. This record has been thought to be the son of Ann Lewis and Benjamin Thompson, but it is also clear that there are many Benjamin and Ann Thompsons living in Birmingham at this time, and that not all baptism records have been indexed at this time. Please understand that this Samuel Thompson may not be the son of Ann Lewis and Benjamin Thompson.
