Watkin WATT
« on: Sunday 23 March 08 21:10 GMT (UK) »
Looking for help, I am making enquiries on behalf of my neighbour Christine
> who at the moment has no computer. She is seeking information on her
> husband Arthur Wilson born 3/10/1946 (now deceased) in Jarrow to Gladys
> Wilson, father Watkin Watt or Watts perhaps born
> 1905 in Billingham or Stockton on Tees. As they were not married
> searches I have made are stalled at present although a search of LDS
> and free BMD have turned up four references to Watkin Watts over an
> extended period so perhaps Watkin as a christian name was significant
> to the Watt or Watts family. Arthur grew up in Madras Street South
> Shields. If you can help Christine will be much obliged as she can
> fill gaps in her tree. Gino Reeve email

Hi

Welcome to Rootschat.  I hope that we can be some use to you.  You are looking for information about people who lived in Co Durham so I think this strand would do better if it were transferred to the Durham look-up requests.

All the best

Hi Gino,

Welcome to RootsChat.  Grin

I have moved the thread for you. Since We are starting with a deceased man born 1946 I can see the potential for information on the living to come out.  Can I ask everyone to please take care with what you post re any possible living people to ensure their privacy is protected. Thank You.

Hi and welcome to Rootschat

The only Watkin Watt(s) birth that shows up on an Ancestry search is the one you found b 1905

However - there is a marriage of a Watkin Watts in Stockton in 1893 according to freebmd to either Sarah Ann Wood or Sarah Thompson so the 1905 Watkin may be their son

This is the 1901 entry for Watkin senior - he is shown as Watkins Watts

6A Victoria ? Stockton  All b Stockton except Watkin

Watkins Watts 28  Gen labourer b Durham Willow Park
Sarah 26 
Agnes  6 
William  4
Charles 1

Hi Carole, the dates and names could be relevant, will check with Christine. As to the spelling differences I think that is downto the recorder as I have found numerous miss spellings in my own family search eg. Reeve Reeves Reive, even christian names transposed ie Richard George instead of George Richard and computer searches cannot cope with that. Gino.
