Henry Watson

[smithy]

Henry WATSON age 39 years as stated on his son's Gordon St.Clare Watson who was born Sale Victoria 1913. I'm having trouble trying to find anything about him before that birth, He states he was Married to Frances Roundtree in New Zealand in 1906.He may have been Henry George or George Henry. Can't find an entry for him arriving in Australia. I am a loss to find anything about him as Watson is a very common name.
thanks for any help some one may be able to give.
Carol.

Where does Henry Watson state he was married to Frances in 1906 in NZ please?
Roundtree is often spelt 'Rountree' or 'Rowntree'

There is this birth

On Gordon St.Clare Watson's birth certificate it does state a marriage place, but i cannot read it and I'm not sure how to attach a copy to my post...sorry.
 
I have seen the birth for Frances Rowntree and haven't as yet discarded it.
thankyou

There are a number of trees on Ancestry that have her as belonging to the Edward Casson and Hannah Rowntree family, and a couple that have her husband as George Henry WATSON of Melbourne. Also have her death in 1954 in Wanganui which I think is probably off the mark.

No children indicated.

EDIT
Also some trees for Gordon that have Frances' death in 1959. She is on a number of electoral rolls with him in the 1930s, 40s and 50s

When you say "he states" - is he the informant on his son's birth certificate? Or did Frances give the information? There are no other births I can see in Victoria or New Zealand to the couple.

What occupation is given for Henry?

There is a 1959 Victoria death, for a Frances Watson it gives her age as 87 which would line up with 1872 Frances, born Auckland New Zealand. Father just listed as "Roundtree", no other details.
