Charles W Watson
« on: Monday 03 October 11 20:37 BST (UK) »
Hi Folks I'm looking for some help in finding the marriage of Charles W Watson b. 03 Dec 1891 in Boston Ma. On the 1910 census he is shown as single and living at San Francisco Assembly District 37, San Francisco, California. On the 1920 census he is shown as married with spouse's name Dorothy M Watson and living in District 32. Can anyone identify Dorothy's maiden name and date and place of the wedding????

In the 1930 Census, they appear to be in Fresno, California.  Judging by the ages at 1st marriage listed on there, it looks like they were married around 1919.

He appears to be single as of his WWI Draft Registration Card.

Dorothy claims her parents were born in Scotland and Kansas.  Yet, I can't find Dorothy in 1910 or 1900 (with a father born in Scotland and a mother born in Kansas).

Do you have anything further on Charles & Dorothy?  Sometimes, obituaries or death records will give clues as to maiden name or date of marriage.

I did find these:

1937 Fresno city directory
Watson Chas W (Dorothy) garage 917 L home 1403 Glen av.

1938 Fresno city directory
Watson Chas W (Dorothy) garage 917 L home 1439 Olive av.

1939 & 1940 Fresno city directories
Watson Chas W garage 917 L home 2125 Kern
