William Thompson (Archdeacon of Cork)

William Thompson (1766[1] - 1833) was Archdeacon of Cork[2] from 1800 until his death.[3]

Thompson was born in County Fermanagh and educated at Trinity College, Dublin.[4] He was the incumbent at St Peter, Cork.

He was married and had at least one daughter Lucy. She married the Reverend John Fitzgerald-Day of Beaufort, County Kerry. John was the natural son of Mr Justice Robert Day of the Court of King's Bench (Ireland) and his companion (later his second wife) Mary Fitzgerald of Bandon, County Cork. Lucy and John had several children, including Anna, who married as his second wife Charles Towry-Law, 3rd Baron Ellenborough and died while returning home from India in 1860, leaving issue. Lucy was still alive in 1901, living in Cheltenham with two unmarried daughters. The 1901 census describes her as a widow aged 88, of independent means.
