Violet Lydia Thompson Baptism Records



While researching Violet Lydia Thompson on ancestry.com, her baptism records were discovered. These records show her baptism on January 3rd 1863 to parents William and Mary Josephine Tompson. While her ancestry shows no link to early burlesque dancer Lydia Thompson, there was still a strong relationship between them as mentor and protege.
