watson family in essex?
« on: Friday 05 December 14 10:59 GMT (UK) »
Lieutenant George Watson of the 3rd Light Dragoons, born 1785, claimed his father Captain Thomas Creswick Watson (born 1770) came from 'an old Essex country family'. I can't find any Watsons which fit the bill, does anyone else know better?

A quick look at reveals he had a wife Rebecca and a son George.
NO mention of Essex - he seems to be from Sheffield, Wrexham and lately of MArylebone.

Yes, I saw the will and his wife is Rebekah Hanson, born in Birmingham. Can't find anything else except the will though and no other relatives. Thank you for your thoughts.

It looks as though Paul Watson of Rotherham and Susanna Creswick/Cresswick of Sheffield married by licence at Rotherham on 6 Feb 1768:

Thank you so much! That's amazing! And an interesting rise in the social scale for Thomas, if his father was a scrivener ...

Was George definitely born in 1785 - only 15 years after his father's baptism?
