Thank you very much for publishing this material - you have things in the blog that I wasn't aware of, although I think I was aware of the ship that carried his name. It is good to know that it is not yet forgotten.
Best regards

Time has moved on and the Thompson One Name Study has been discontinued. Information on Thomas Roe Thompson and his family can be found on WikiTree at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Thompson-6732 . These records are far more comprehensive than they used to be and are being updated when additional information is discovered. I can still be reached through mthompson@btinternet.com.
