He was born in Fintona, County Tyrone, to postmaster William Thompson and Jane Jeffries. His family migrated to Australia around 1836. He worked as a licensed surveyor, and on 11 February 1861 married Margaret Catherine Carroll; they would have twelve children. In 1877 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for Queanbeyan, serving until his resignation in 1881. He later worked as a government land valuer. Thompson died at Ryde in 1901.[1]
