London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Info needed on William Feuster "COMPLETED WITH THANKS"
« on: Sunday 15 November 09 18:05 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Janet,

I tried to send you personal message but I am not sure if it reached you OK?  I am currently typing up my relevant notes so that I can e-mail them to you when we can communicat that way.  On that topic, with what size file attachments can your e-mail cope, please?  I have copied several photographs but they are ~2MB each in size.  Maybe it would be easier to send them to you on a CD?

As far as the Watsons are concerned, I have traced 2 generations further back than James:

James WATSON, a painter
C. 18.7.1788 Gainsborough
d. 24.9.1854 Basingstoke

His father:

John WATSON, a nailmaker
C. 1.3.1748 Gainsborough
m. Ann FISHER 26.12.1771 Gainsborough
bur. 4.1.1826 Gainsborough

His father:

Thomas WATSON, a sailor (on the river Trent?)
He had children with his wife Mary between 1730 & 1753.

I look forward to sending you further infomation.

Best regards,

David

Hi Janet,

It is great to hear from you; I am looking forward to comparing notes.   I thought that I read that 3 posts were required to be able to send personal messages.  If so we are nearly there!

My great-grandfather was nearly 98 when he died and I can just remember meeting him, which is a great pleasure for me.  I also have some Barter photographs (or copies of those belonging to my Dad's cousin) including William (not very clear) and his family in a pony trap, presumably in Paddingtom Green, his sister Emma and his brother George in his Winchester Councillor's robes.  I am also happy to share my findings about the Watsons with you.

The painting & decorating stopped with Charlie in our branch of the family, but we are practical & still use some of his tools (branded "C.B."!) for DIY.

Best regards,

David

Hi Janet,

I was very interested to read your posting as I am also descended from William and Frances Barter; their son Charles was my great-grandfather.  So far I have been able to trace the Barters back as far as Simon on the 1841 census and also his childrens' baptisms between 1822 and 1840.  From your comment it seems that you have been able to get further back and I would be very interested in exchanging information with you. 

I have also traced the Watson line back to Gainsborough in Lincolnshire in the 1730s if you are also interested in them.

Best regards,

David
