Emma and Greg with their new-born unnamed daughter
Oscar-winning actress Emma Thompson has given birth to a daughter with North Yorkshire connections.
Yvonne Wise, the mother of the father, actor Greg Wise, lives in Skelton, near York.
And Greg is an old boy of St Peter's School in York.
The child was born at The Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth, St John's Wood, north London, and weighed 7.5lbs, her agent Lorraine Hamilton said.
"At the moment, we are calling her Jane.com," joked Greg.
Ms Hamilton added: "The whole family is doing well."
Ms Thompson, 40, who suffered a miscarriage in 1997, has made no secret of her desire to be a mother.
She has been with Mr Wise, 33, star of the TV comedy drama Wonderful You, for four years.
The couple live in Hampstead.
