  Father	John Sparrow David Thompson, PC QC KCMG,   b. 10 Nov 1845, Halifax, Nova Scotia ,   d. 12 Dec 1894, Windsor, Windsor and Maidenhead Royal Borough, Berkshire, England  (Age 49 years)
  Mother	Anne Emma "Annie" Affleck,   b. 26 Jun 1845, Halifax, Nova Scotia ,   d. 10 Apr 1913, Toronto, Ontario, Canada  (Age 67 years)
  Married	5 Jul 1870	Portland, Cumberland, Maine, United States   [1]
  While John was Methodist and Annie was Roman Catholic, their marriage was performed by Roman Catholic clergy in Portland. Indications are that John did not convert to Catholicism at that time, however, he did convert to that faith the following year. This decision would have repercussions for him in later years when he was initially asked to become Prime Minister of Canada after the death of Sir John A. MacDonald.
