Title: William WATSON 1785 Warmsworth
Post by: diana1 on Monday 10 March 08 12:36 GMT (UK)
I wonder if anyone can find a marriage for me for William Watson baptised 16th April 1785.      He was born in Warmsworth.       The wife's name should be Phoebe/Feby/Pheby.    I can find nothing on the family search IGI.

with many thanks
Diana

Dear KLM,

thank you so much for looking for me.   Unfortunately the wife must be Phoebe.     He was in Tredegar, Mons by 1809 on the baptism of his daughter Elizabeth (Gx3 grandmother of mine) and in Tredegar on the 1841 census so it is another to cross of the list.   He died in 18546 of typhoid fever.

thank you again
Diana
