Hi Radcliff,

Thank you for your efforts and info. I had picked up on the Edmonson connection (apart from  Susannah who was the illegitimate child of Elizabeth before her marrige to Thomas Watson). As you say there may also be a connection somewhere to the Huddleston family but I haven't as yet made that connection. I had however wondered from earlier reseach whether the father of Susannah may have been a Huddleston!! My ultimate aim is to connect the Watson side with a Mary Ellen Watson living in Padiham in 1942!! its a tall order but thats the intrigue of Fam History. Will contact you again over the coming days. Family are staying over at the moment and time is a bit limited.

Best
Will
