Thomas H Watson abt 1864 North Shields, Northumberland, England Head
Sarah Nelson abt 1867 Walker, Northumberland, England Daughter
Elizabeth Nelson abt 1885 North Shields, Northumberland, England Granddaughter
John W Nelson abt 1887 North Shields, Northumberland, England Grandson
Alice H Nelson abt 1888 South Shields, Durham, England Granddaughter
Sarah W Nelson abt 1890 South Shields, Durham, England Granddaughter
Mary J Watson abt 1895 Aberdare, Scotland Daughter
Thomas H W Nelson abt 1896 Aberdare, Scotland Grandson
Elizabeth C W Nelson abt 1899 North Shields, Northumberland, England Granddaughter
Can anyone shed any light on this family lived in 5 Elsdon Street Chirton 1901. I think?? According to the census Thomas H Watson is Sarah Nelsons father which seems impossible as he is only 3yrs older. They are both widowed. If anyone knows of this family please let me know

I have checked the original on ancestry ref is
It does have Sarah down as his daughter, which is surprising since in 1891 he is aged 27 and single. Did he marry an older widow in the mean time?
Directly under Thomas's name is Mary J DAU aged 6, then Sarah and her family.

I looked at the image from 1901 and it does say Daughter, but it looks as if the clerk made a real mess of all of the relationsips, there are two Elizabeths - both daughters. As I mentioned to Brian in PM, most of the younger children have the middle initial W - perhaps for Watson?
He also mentioned that Thomas and Sarah married in 1902.

Hi Brian,
Upper Elsdon St still exists, but most of Elsdon St has gone..........no homes there nowadays. I should go down there and take some pics. I was born at my Grandparents house, but was living there for the first two years of my life, apparently. However, when I went to school (age 5) a few years later, Elsdon Street had already been transformed. Where I lived, was already new flats at that time (1960's).
Regards,
Trini.
I forgot to say that my auntie & uncle used to live in upper elsdon street from the 70s until about 5 years ago

For the first two years of my life, I lived there and it was only two rooms with a shared loo outside, until we were re-housed because of slum clearance!
