Thomson/Meikle

Post by kestrel516 »

John Murchie Thomson , born 1891, Ardrossan was my great grandfather. He emigrated to Hamilton, Canada around the time of the great war. He was from Ardrossan. He married Sarah Thompson Montgomery, from Glasgow. They met in Canada.

John Murchie Thomson's family:
Mother: Margaret Meikle ( about 1856)
Father: Archibald Thomson (unknown)
Siblings:
Archibald Thomson 1886
David Thomson 1883
Mary Thomson 1882
Thomas Thomson 1888

Thomas Meikle Thomson died on 09 April 1917 and is buried in Souchez.

If anyone has any further information, such as where the Meikle's were from and if Archie, David and Mary remained in the area, and if the parents of Archibald Sr and Margaret are available, that would be helpful.

Kind regards,

Catherine Wright
