Solomon Thompson (48) widower, builder, son of Solomon Thompson Jnr and Maria Willis, married Ann Burr (39), widow, on 14 Aug 1871, at St Jude's Church (Old Bethnal Green Road), Bethnal Green. Both gave their address as 8 Hare Street, Bethnal Green. Ann listed her father as William Turner, Paper Maker, which I have yet to confirm. Likewise, I've been unable to find the previous marriage of an Ann Turner to anyone named Burr.
There was an Albert Edward Thompson born in 1872 M Quarter in BETHNAL GREEN Volume 01C Page 334, with his mother's maiden name as Turner, but I've found nothing that would corroborate this as a child of this couple.
In 1851, Solomon Thompson (28) Carpenter, from Northamptonshire, alone, but listed as married, had been a Lodger in Mile End Old Town, Stepney.
In 1861, Solomon Thompson (37) Joiner, from Northamptonshire along with wife Jane (28) with her birthplace listed as Clifton, Cumberland, were living in Seabright Street, Bethnal Green. There are no clues to Jane's maiden name, nor can I find a record of their marriage. Neither can I find if there were any children of this marriage. One assumes Jane Thompson died between 1861 and 1871, but it also hasn't been possible to pinpoint the relevant death.
It appears that Solomon Thompson died, aged 49, in 1872 S Quarter in SAINT GEORGE IN THE EAST Volume 01C Page 310.
Sadly, too many people named Ann Thompson to follow her forward.
