watson/Mphillips

[womud]

I am trying to find francis Watsons family.  Francis was born around 1843 his mothers name was Ellenor and on his marriage certificate his father is listed as william.  I think they were catholic or he converted as my Grandfather one of francis sons Robert Watson was catholic and his children including my mother went to a catholic school.
I know Francis married Ellen Mcphillips born in liverpool.  They married in 1869 in Tynemouth.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi

Francis was born around 1843

Was he born in Northumberland or elsewhere please.  The only one I can find in 1871 was b Liverpool 1840 and wife Ellen was b Liverpool also in 1840

If you have them on the 1881 census will you please post full details

[womud]

the 1881,1891,1901 and 1911 all say he was born in north shields the all list his birth as 1847/48.
1881 census details are
Frank Watson
Age: 33
 
my grand father was born 1889 his name was robert and is listed on the 1891 census
Is this helpful?

Thank you - your opening post gives his birthyear as 1843 which is why I could not find him 

Francis was born around 1843

What was his fathers occupation on the marriage cert

 

[CaroleW]

In 1871 he is shown as Frank Watson aged 21 so birthyear 1850.  Wife Ellen is shown as Phillips

1871 ref is RG10 Piece 5113 Folio 36 Page 30

1861 again shown as Frank - reference is RG9 Piece 3837 Folio 49 Page 11

What about the September qtr 1847 entry?  2 possible Eleanors on the same page

the 1851 census lists francis father as francis although the birth date is seems incorrect the sibbling names match the 1861 census they say that Frances senior was a waterman in the 1861 census it states that ellen was a seamans widow.  George G was 6 when the 1861 census so I would assume that francis died between 1851 and 1855.
