Greetings,

William THOMPSON is descendant of the Newland/Redbrook THOMPSON and COSTER families. The families migrated from Newland to both Bitton, GLS and Publow/Pensford, SOM, early 1700s, as the copper mills opened. By the mid 1800s the mills closed and we have more migration believed to be for work. We know some lines went to Wales (my line went to Selly Oak, nr Bham).

Here's William Thompson and brother James, in the 1851 Census, in Publow with his Widowed mother. William bap 7 Jun 1835, s/o 1809 George Bush THOMPSON / abt 1814 Sarah BROOKMAN.
