LDS has Julia as Julia Ann Thompson, daughter of James Willard Thompson and Sarah Jane Gusler.

But…. On the 1910 Census, the Thompson children were listed as his step children, but on the 1900 Census, they are listed as William Francis/Frances/France children.

Could Julia been married to a Thompson before she married William?

* Another thing, Julia Ann Thompson had a sister name Carrie Belle Thompson, according to LDS… if you notice on the 1930 Census, her granddaughter is a Carrie B… which I know is Carrie Belle. She is my neighbor’s mother.*

I don’t trust LDS… they don’t source their information. They accept anything! But I do use it to get names and dates.

If you have anything on this family, I’d appreciate it.
