Hello Henry,
I have done a (very) little research on the Thompsons who have Co. Kilkenny origins, but am sure you are aware of this. Henry Thompson’s brother (Mungo Noble Thompson) was curate of Drumragh (Omagh) 1849-59 and was father to an illustrious military family (Derry Clergy and Parishes – Canon James B. Leslie, 1937). A visit to the graveyard at Clanabogan Church of Ireland, 7-8 kms south-west of Omagh, will be essential as there are three legible headstones erected in memory of numerous Thompsons including the families of both Henry and Mungo. You will enjoy a visit to the Ulster American Folk Park, Castletown, Omagh and calling at the Omagh Library, Spillars Place in Omagh where there is a local studies area. Hope this assists your research, Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10 ________________________________ From: CoTyroneList <cotyronelist-boun...@cotyroneireland.com> on behalf of Henry Bruns <hjtbr...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2018 2:02:06 AM To: Dave Mitchell Cc: cotyronelist@cotyroneireland.com Subject: Re: [CoTyroneMailingList] Omagh visit Dave, Thanks for your response. My mother’s maiden name is Thompson. She is age 96 and still going strong. Henry Thompson is the physician I mentioned and his second child (and son) was Robert Hely Thompson. My grandfather was John Blake Thompson, Robert’s eldest son, who was London-born and raised. I understand Robert lectured in mathematics at Trinity College (so we plan to visit the university while in Dublin). Sorry for the confusion over last names...my mistake. Hope you get some rain soon; we live near Portland, Oregon and would gladly send you some of our rain!
