PRESTON/WATTS
« on: Saturday 07 April 07 15:09 BST (UK) »
Thomas Preston married Elizabeth Jane Watts 5 May 1906 at Claypath Congregational Church. Two of their children were Thomas 1814 and Mary E 1811.

Thomas was born Swaledale but living at Thorps Yard, Byers Green at time of marriage.
Elizabeth was age 19 and of Langley Moor, Brandon.

Would love to hear from anyone with links/more information

Hi Christine,

I'm sorry - but is the marriage date correct, or the dates the children were born?

I was wondering whether it should read 1806?

Kind regards,

Pels

Hi,

Sorry...fingers not in sync with brain.

Marriage date correct; birth years should read 1914 and 1911.

Thomas was my great uncle, but none of the family seem to know what happened to him and I suspect I may have cousins somewhere (if only one of them were interested in family history :-))
