Title: Watson - Barrow in Furness C1881
Post by: xsalamak on Wednesday 27 February 13 23:33 GMT (UK)
Hi All, Its some time since I was last on Roots. I'm searching for a family of Watson, father Thomas, wife Elizabeth, daughters Susannah and Annie and son James, living Concle, Barrow in Furness in1881 Census. After this I can find no trace on any census records or indeed bmd for any family member!! Have any fellow RCers any ideas where I may find anything further. I would be grateful for any help.
Thanks, Will

So Susanah was an Edmondson,mother Elizabeth Edmondson,mother later married,I see Susanahs marriage in 1894 so in theory its the 1891 census you are missing,?



William Edmondson Watson,
birth registered Barrow 1881,mother Edmondson

Annie 1879 Barrow,mother Edmondson,

James registered Dalton 1876,mother Edmondson

Hi Radcliff,

Thank you for your efforts and info. I had picked up on the Edmonson connection (apart from  Susannah who was the illegitimate child of Elizabeth before her marrige to Thomas Watson). As you say there may also be a connection somewhere to the Huddleston family but I haven't as yet made that connection. I had however wondered from earlier reseach whether the father of Susannah may have been a Huddleston!! My ultimate aim is to connect the Watson side with a Mary Ellen Watson living in Padiham in 1942!! its a tall order but thats the intrigue of Fam History. Will contact you again over the coming days. Family are staying over at the moment and time is a bit limited.

Best
Will
