Hi, could anyone please help me try and trace the names of my gg grandad's parents. His name was William Watson and he was born in Houghton le spring in 1831. He had two brothers Robert born 1840 and Richard born 1821. He moved with his wife Hannah(Howe) to Haswell in Durham about 1857 and had 8 children the last 4 were born in Stockton where they lived from 1864. He owned a large amount of property in Stockton around Talbot street ncluding a pawnbrokers which my g.grandad owned till his death in 1911. His children were Mary,John, ThomasRobert Dorothy George William and James.Can anyone help with any details on the family in any census's before 1871. Or help me with death details of John died 1901 to 1911. and James died 1910 aged 31

Thanks for the help that's definately them. I now need to trace it back to william's parents. Thank you so much for the help. Can anyone perhaps find this family on the 1871 census for Stockton please. Or the 1851 census for Houghton le spring? William probably wasn't married by then.
