My grandfather, Robert Joseph Thompson, born 1877, IOM emigrated to Vancouver BC Canada circa 1910 and drowned 7 May 1915 with sinking of "Lusitania" while enroute to Ramsey, IOM to visit his family. Son of Robert Thompson, railway guard, & Elizabeth Matilda (nee Cain), residents of Ramsey, 1915. Robert Joseph had 5 brothers and 5 sisters: Robert E., Margaret Alice, John Evans, Christian Hannah, Thomas Henry, Elizabeth A.M., Eleanor J. William Edward, Florence May and Fred Hamlet. Sadly, after my grandfather's tragic drowning, contact with the Thompson family on IOM was lost.
In Vancouver, Canada, Robert Joseph Thompson m. Jessie Campbell, 1911, and had one son, Robert Sinclair Thompson, b. 1913, d. 1963. I am the only child and son of Robert Sinclair Thompson. I would dearly love to make contact with my grandfather's family, the Thompson's (& Cain's). Can anyone please help me? I'd be most thankful for any assistance! Thank you!
