I am interested in tracing an ancestor, Horace THOMPSON, born 1893 in
Workington, England, who left England to work in Argentina, some time
between 1918 and 1924. He was the brother in law of my grandfather, James
HARDING, who worked as an engineer in Rosario. James and Horace were going
to work together in Argentina, but fell out, and although they both went to
Argentina, they were not on speaking terms. James left Argentina in either
1924 or 1925 to return to England with my grandmother Elsie and their son
Alan.

Horace THOMPSON married Jane LUSCHER (the daughter of a Swiss hairdresser
Emile Luscher) and stayed in Argentina for some time (I don't know how
long). They had 2 sons, John Brian (known as Brian) and Norman. Brian died
in Argentina.

Do the names THOMPSON, LUSCHER or HARDING ring any bells? What did Horace
Thompson do in Argentina?
