Oh that is interesting, strange no mention of Roy’s mother. If she had died you would have thought they would have said “ and the late mother Margaret”

Canada Lookup Request / The Gilmores
« on: Sunday 07 July 24 20:21 BST (UK)  »
I’m trying to find out about my Grandmother Enid Lavinia Julia Watson ( she changed her name to Margaret Enid Watson) and moved to Canada with John william Gilmore where they married in 1923.They joined her Father in Canada who had already eloped with Alice hood leaving his wife.i have found from the 1931 Canada census that  they had 3 children in Canada in the years 1924 (a son now deceased), 1926 a daughter and 1928 another son. Enid Lavinia also had a son in 1917 in England before she met John william Gilmore who  was my Father, she gave him away when he was born.
There are a lot of postings about the Watson family on rootschat England but not about enid Lavinia so I am really trying to find out when she died and any information about her children that could help me
Thank you

We do seem to be a complicated bunch!!

Really I just  want to find out what happened to Enid/Margaret, did she have more children apart from the two I know about and when did she die. I sent a letter to the solicitors but they choose not to reply.

Hi bendywendy, I am the aunt of cpncpn, we have been in contact before but I've never posted on here.
Seeing as I seem to have come to a 'dead end' where Enid/Margaret is concerned, I  thought I would have a look to see if there was any more news about her on this forum so it was nice to see the photos of her family. I had a look on the Canadian thread too which was very interesting  but again nothing about Enid/Margaret. You never know who will pop up with information so I will keep on looking.

I have already posted this but think I posted on the wrong thread.

Wow I am amazed at all the new information regarding the Watson family. Unfortunately there is no more news on my Grandmother Enid Lavinia Julia Watson married name Gilmore. She was the daughter of Joseph Watson the eloper and Lavinia and sister of Dorothy,Joseph and Cyril. Enid ( she changed her name to margaret Watson) and her future husband John William Gilmore went to Canada to stay with her father Joseph and his wife Alice for a while and had a child called Roy Edmund Gilmore. I did notice on one of the photographs there is a picture of Enid as a child with her mother and brother Joseph and sister Dorothy which is lovely as I only have one photograph of her.
