I've been doing a little digging here & there on your names and dates. From what I can tell, it seems Burghwallis is referred to as Doncaster. Do you find this to be true? I have found some things mentioning a William Thompson with mother Anne Thompson also linked to a Charles & George Thompson but the dates I have for birth year are 1787. If you like, I will post the links to them on here.

Sure feel free to post it here. I do see that the Burghwallis records are all housed in Doncaster. Seems that this is the main town surrounded by the smaller villages. I still have only been able to find a birth date of 7 Jun 1778 and a Baptism date of 10 Jul 1778 for William. I wonder if I maybe took a wrong turn one generation back...lol.
And thanks for the comments about "Star Fell on Alabama." It is one of my favorite jazz standards and that was a later recording. It was a learning experience doing self recording and took me a while to get a somewhat decent sound from the room...lol.
And thanks again all for the warmest welcome. Makes me very happy I decided to look here!
Ron Yatzek:
I am having brain overload from all the info I am reading from the forums. I can't imagine how much work has been involved with discovering all this information. Amazing!

You might've already seen them.....

It does list his baptism under Non-Conformist (non parish) records. Searching the quaker's records seems to be the place to look for that. I've been looking for a while now but must get some sleep. I will continue tomorrow.I did look there the other day and found a few things of interest but like a dummy I forgot to save it and now I'm having trouble finding it again. UGH. If you want to do a little digging yourself on there its here (somewhere lol) :

Ron Yatzek:
Cheryll I very much appreciate all the help. Seems that this is the only information available for William and his mother Ann. I found exactly the same baptism records with the same info. It does list Ann's occupation as Servant, so I am thinking it is quite possible there is no info out there for her beyond this one record.
I did however find a possible, and I stress possible, wife of William, by the name of Jane Cordiner born in 1802. I am trying to contact the owner of the tree by email to find out where he gathered his information since he has their children listed correctly, but I have not yet been able to trace any documents.
I did find an interesting listing in a parish record from the North Riding or Yorkshire that actually showed a shift in the spelling of the surname. I will have to track it down again, but it was a birth record showing the father as Thomson and the son as Thompson, from I think around the end of the 1600's. I found it pretty interesting.
I think I am coming to the conclusion that there are just so many Thompsons in Yorkshire County, that I might never be able to for sure trace back any farther. It has blown my mind how many I have found going through old documents over the last week or so.
Thanks again for the help and I will continue the search!...lol.

I just listened to "Hold My Beer" and loved it.
Come to Scotland in the Park and I'll definitely find something for you to do,
