Trouble With Frederick Watson b. 1867

[mulberry-rose]

I’ve seen it where widows put their marriage length even though their spouse is dead, but not recording the (newest) marriage is odd.

Eleanor Watson their daughter born at 5 Percy St

Thanks for that.

I had no idea that they had a daughter born at 5 Percy Street in 1902, this information has proved to be very interesting indeed.

Yes, I do agree that it is weird that in the 1911 she is not living with him, and she has recorded her marriage to the deceased John Blenkinsopp as 32 years, instead of noting the one to Frederick Watson--weird!

The 32 years was filled in and then crossed out by the census enumerator.

I still have no luck with Frederick. However, I have just acquired the death certificate of his wife Eleanor Watson (Rodenby), from 1938, and Frederick Watson is recorded as "deceased", and his occupation "A Shipyard Labourer".

This suggests that he died sometime before 1938 (either in England or somewhere else); I'll have a check at UK Passenger List Records to see if I can anybody who fits him.

Thank you,
