Looking for some info WATSON Family

[lilbees]

I have a Thomas Watson born, we believe, 1812 in North Ferriby, Yorkshire, with father named John and mother named Ruth Crathorne.

Am I looking to search in the correct area of Yorkshire?

Thank you for your assistance.

Yes.  You are on the right board.  North Ferriby is just outside Hull and on the north bank of the Humber.   BMDs will be registered in Sculcoates after 1837.  Prior to that you will need the church registers and North Ferriby is covered on the IGI at www.familysearch.org so if he was baptised there you should be able to find him.   Did you get his place of birth from census records?   If you can quote those it makes it easier to make sure we are on the right family.

The birth date and place are from the family itself. He immigrated to the U.S. prior to 1850. I have no UK census.

The info I have:
Thomas Watson b. 9 May 1812, North Ferriby, Yorkshire, England
Father: John
Mother: Mary Crathorne
Grandfather: Thomas

That is all there is. Was hoping to confirm the information.

Went to the IG site. After going through about 4,000 records could not find him with that date.

Here is the marriage on the IGI

An extracted record so pretty reliable.  You might have a date of birth for Thomas.  The IGI has baptisms so it could be any time and in another parish if they happened to be living there at the time.

Thank you for your assistance. The links you gave only take me to the search page not the record. The baptism date is 10 May 1812 North Ferriby, Yorkshire, England

There's something not quite right here - Mother's name changes from Ruth to Mary? Am I missing something?

So sorry! It should be (I think) Mary Crathorne. Don't know where I came up with Ruth but I won't rule that out.

lilbees

If you have the number of the record on IG I can locate what you found by that.

Thanks.

I think you'll have to wait for Sillgen to come back online - I can't find anything - sorry!

Only thing I can find on IGI at the moment is a christening for Mary Crathorne 2.10.1779, North Ferriby - Father Alexander Crathorne
