Neither of them did.
The neutron was discovered long after either of them had done most of their major work.
J.J. Thomson discovered the first subatomic particle, the electron, in the late 19th century through his experiments with cathode rays. This discovery led to the understanding that atoms contain subatomic particles.
Ernest Rutherford was responsible for the Gold Foil experiment. A great portion of Ernest Rutherford's research included the study of alpha particles.
The proton was discovered by Ernest Rutherford in 1917. Rutherford identified the proton while conducting experiments on the structure of the atom.
Ernest Rutherford and J.J. Thomson worked together on research related to the structure of the atom. Thomson discovered the electron and proposed the plum pudding model of the atom, while Rutherford conducted the famous gold foil experiment that led to the discovery of the atomic nucleus. Their work laid the foundation for modern atomic theory.
Ernest Rutherford predicted the existence of the neutron, but it was Sir James Chadwick that is credited for the actual discovery of the neutron.

JJ Thomson, Ernest Rutherford
There are 3 subatomic particles in an atom, electrons, protons, and neutrons. The first discovered was the electrons by J.J. Thomson in 1897. The second discovered was the protons by Ernest Rutherford in 1919. The third discovered was the neutrons by James Chadwick in 1932.
