Benjamin Thompson (purportedly b. ~1723 in Cransley, Northamptonshire), married Sarah Munn on 8 Oct 1744 at All Saints Church, in the village of Pytchley, Northamptonshire. This pair of 6th great-grandparents are the earliest of this line in Northamptonshire that I can confirm [so far]. 

This couple had four children, baptised at St Andrew's Church, Cransley:

1. Solomon Thompson Sr bap. 25 Aug 1745
2. Priscilla Thomson bap. 6 Mar 1748
3. Sarah Thompson bap. 28 Apr 1751
4. William Thompson bap. 24 Jun 1753

There are suggestions that Sarah Munn was born in 1725 and died in 1788, however, I have not yet seen any records to confirm this. So far, I've been unable to confirm any further records for this couple.

Witnesses were Daniel Tompson and Mary Adcock (who married in 1832, a pair of my 3x great-grandparents). Mary was Lydia's sister.

On birth registrations for George, Samuel, James and Mary, mother's maiden name is correctly listed as ADCOCK. Baptisms give the parent's names as Samuel and Lydia. Found no baptism for Mary Elizabeth Cook Mobbs.

Son Samuel's marriage in 1872, lists his father's occupation as Gardner.

In 1841, Samuel Mobbs (~30), Lydia Mobbs (~30), Benjamin (10), Joseph (8), William Ad[cock] (5), George (2), Edward Thos (0) and James Phillips (20) [Presumably a Lodger] were living in Pytchley, Northamptonshire.

William [Adcock] Mobbs (15), listed as their Nephew, was staying with his uncle George Mobbs and family, also in Pytchley.

Samuel Mobbs died, aged 50, on 3 Jun 1859 (1859 J Quarter in KETTERING Volume 03B Page 106) and was buried, on 7 Jun 1859 at All Saints, Pytchley. Probate was granted on 25 Feb 1860 to a Richard Lane.

James' profession was listed as Carpenter and Joiner and he was already living in Stamford, Lincolnshire at the time of their marriage. Witnesses were Edward Bryan and Louisa Cox.

James and Mary had five children, all born in in Stamford, Lincolnshire and baptised at the [former] church of St Michaels, Stamford:

1. John Adcock b. 1839 J Quarter in THE STAMFORD UNION Volume 14 Page 553, bap. 14 Apr 1839

In 1841, James Adcock (25), wife Mary (30), John (2) and William (0) were all living in the parish of St Michael, Stamford, Lincolnshire.

In 1851, in the parish of All Saints, Stamford, we find James Adcock (38), Joiner, wife Mary (43) - birthplace listed as Denford, Northamptonshire - John (12), William (10), Joseph (9) and Mary (7).

In 1861, in the parish of St George, Stamford, were James Adcock (48), Carpenter, Mary (50), and daughter Mary (17), Dressmaker. John had married that year and gone to live in Peterborough; William Hill Adcock was in London visiting his cousins, John and Maria Blackett; Joseph Adcock (19), Gardener, was a visitor in the household of Edwin Wright in Northampton. 

Mary Adcock died, aged 62, in 1867 M Quarter in STAMFORD UNION Volume 07A Page 210 and was buried on 18 Mar 1867.

In 1871, James Adcock (60), Carpenter, widower, was living with daughter Mary E Adcock (27), Schoolmistress and Jane Gilbert (13), Domestic Servant.

In 1881, Mary E Adcock (37) was living at 17, Belton Street, Stamford, Lincolnshire - which may well have been the address she had lived at with her parents - by this time she is described as "Invalid Formerly Teacher". 

Still in Belton Street in 1891, Mary E Adcock (47) was an Annuitant. 

In 1901, Mary Elizabeth Adcock (57), "Living on own means", address Milner's Row, Stamford. From the description it looks like this may well have still been the same place, "Part of this terrace remains although the houses nearest Belton Street have been demolished and replaced with a modern garage." 

Mary Elizabeth Adcock died, aged 63, in 1906 J Quarter in STAMFORD Volume 07A Page 188. She had never married.
