I have a typed copy of a newspaper article, The Witness, Jan 29, 1873 about a William Thomson from Dumfries, Scotland.The last sentence "Four sisters, Mrs. Beaudent, Mrs. BurWney, Mary Grace, Jannet Jean (sic) went to Australia, brother James to Jamaica, died there a soldier."I received this item many years ago from a cousin living in North Gower, Ontario, Canada.My maiden name is Thompson (the "p" was added a couple of generations ago.Original name: Thomson.Will this clue be of any help?
