The Diary of Nathaniel Bryceson (Part 4)

[majm]

Re 1911 ... closest I can get :

1913 Marriage WATERSON = BRYCESON at St Chad, Haggerston, Hackney married by Banns.
John Edmund Waterson, 28, Bachelor, a Caterer, of 208 Kingsland Rd, (his father was) Robert Waterson, Caterer
Ethel Bryceson, 27, Spinster of same address, (her father was) Nathaniel Bryceson, Engineer Deceased,
Witnesses : Robert Waterson and John Albert Milian (or Wilian, hard to read). 

  John Edmund Waterson may have served in WW1 
 
NB the engineer, that would be same chap    who was a Porter residing Queens Arms Buildings when Ethel Elizabeth Bryceson was baptised 5 Nov 1882, (birth 30 Sept 1882) to NB and Annie (Stone re 1882 marriage) at St Mary, Islington

Have been looking for Nathaniel and Sarah's children and found some possibles all in Islington district:

Sarah Clark Bryceson
b Jun 1855
d Sept 1855

Nathaniel b Sept 1856

John William b Dec 1857

Sarah Maria b Sept 1858

Samuel b Dec 1859

John S... b Jun 1860

Mary Shepard Bryceson
b Dec 1861
there is a plain Mary d Jun 1863 who may be same one

Henry b Dec 1863

Mary Ward Bryceson
b Jun 1865
d Jun 1865

Definites still alive for census and beyond

There are a couple of others but they don't seem to fit in with the known births. Also some of the above probably do not belong to Nat and Sarah.


Fab thanks for that JM - that's the right marriage.

I have found the following births for children with father's surname Waterson and mother's surname Bryceson:

Betty - Jun 1/4 1917 Hackney
Nancy - Set 1920 Shoreditch
Elsie - Sept 1922 Marylebone
George E - Dec 1924 Edmonton
(Fairly unusual combination of surnames so likely to be the right couple, but they moved around a lot)

1882 marriage would be NB Junior

20 July 1882, Nathaniel Bryceson Jr 26 Bachelor, Undertaker, 48 Essex Rd Nth (father was) Nathaniel Bryceson, Accountant.  Annie Stone, 21, Spinster, 12 Compton Rd, (father was) Joseph Stone, Tobacco Pipe Maker. at St Phillip The Evangelist, Arlington Square.

Witnesses : Samuel Taylor Davis, Elizabeth Sayer Davis (her mark,)

PS ... good finds on the Bryceson people ...well done you lot!   finding Nat's place of burial would be GREAT!!!!!

[Ruskie]

There are a few possibilities for marriages for the Waterson children - can't narrow them down enough with any certainty.

I've just been off on a tangent with this family ....  I was trying to find where all Nathaniel's family were buried in an attempt to find him. Looks like they all died in Islington. But buried where?

Nite Deb.

Agree Ruskie, but where ... perhaps surnames mistranscribed, must have been recorded in shorthand!

Edit to add ...

That looks like an interesting project JM. No mention of Nathaniel though.

I've also checked for Bry*son ...

I have no clue if this is our Nathaniel's real father, but he does have the right name and he is in the right area to have known Mary Bryceson.
