I'm not related. Thompson is a very, very common name. The more you post on him the easier it is to help you.
I assume you mean Charles and Ida who are listed in the 1930 census as living in Pottsville, SchuylkillCounty, PA. They were married about 6 years.
If you know when and where he died I suggest getting his death certificate which should list his parents. If in Pennsylvania the PA Dept of Health would have it. If he died in Schuylkill County try the Historical Society of Schuylkill County for the obituary. It may list his parents or at least surviving siblings. The Pottsville Free Public Library may also have it but you would have to do your own research. The church he was a member of may have some helpful data in their records as might the cemetery he is buried in. If you know where they were married their license application may have data on his parents. You could also tryto get a copy of his Social Security application which should have data on his parents.
Do you know if he had any siblings? Names and dates, even if only approximate, can be very helpful.
