Default Debdon Pit Cottage

Hi all,
New to this forum, My name is Terry Thompson trying to trace my tree back, with a name like Thompson it is trying to look for the end of a match in a forest.

I had a relative aged 12, Name of John Thompson Living with the Bonner family at Debdon Pit cottage in 1841. I cant read his employment at the time.

I wondered if anyone has information of Bonner or Thompson at the cottage. 1841 is where I am stumped as I have no idea who his parents are and can't find a christening in Rothbury for him.

I know this lad was one of two Thompsons in the area that could be my relation. He eventually would have had a son called Edward Robert Thompson Born 1849.
Hope you can helpAll the best
Terry
