WATTS Families
« on: Thursday 20 August 09 18:27 UTC (UK) »

 I wonder if anyone could help, I am looking for a Thomas Watts who married Ruth Simes 19 August 1810 at Holy Trinity, Paulton, I am seeking his parents.  I believe he could have been married twice, once to Hepzibah Hill Aishman 11 August 1800 at Holy Trinity, Paulton & then to Ruth Simes.  

I am also trying to 'marry up' three groups of Watts,

1. Thomas Watts who married Ruth Simes 19 August 1810 Holy Trinity Church, Paulton
2. Edward Watts who married Ann (Spencer?), looking for Edwards family.  Edward born c1830 Warminster, 1871 Census living in Silver Street, Warminster.
3. Isaac Watts born 1792, not sure where as on 1841 Census born outside of county.  I believe Isaac married Elizabeth Small 8 Dec 1817 St Denys Warminster.  Looking for Isaac's family.

There must be a connection as they all seem to be born in the same vicinity.  Would appreciate any assistance
regards Trish

Thomas Watts marriage to Ruth is there too, he is a widower.
Probable first marriage is to Hepzabath/Hephzibah in 1800, who died 1808 ( record shows wife of Thomas)

Could Thomas & Isaac be related, I am trying to link three separate Watts families all from the Paulton area of Somerset

EDWARD WATTS;
Excuse me if I am a bit confused here but Edward Watts, born c 1830 is from Warminster, Wiltshire. The only connection I can find is his wife Anne born Frome, Somerset.
All children are born Warminster, Wiltshire. The first Edward c 1855

The likely marriage for him to a Ann is;
Edward WATTS
September 1853
Warminster 5a 249
On same page Ann WILLIAMSON

I cannot find any matching marriage to Ann Spencer as per submitted record on Familysearch.

The ISAAC WATTS you refer to;
Is he the one on 1841 Census, Bitton, Gloust, with wife Elizabeth and daughters Fanny 25 and Jane 20? All not born in county.

Elizabeth appears to have died by 1851 Census and girls have married. There is now I presume son Issac, born c 1843. Isaac snr is born Paulton, Somerset and  down as unmarried.
HO107/2032/372/38

1861 he is a lodger with son Isaac in the Parson household, born Potton (sic) Somerset c 1792 and a widow.
RG9/2056/70/41

None of this helps to prove is is a brother of Thomas yet though Wink

Sounds as though you may have found the Isaac Watts who married Elizabeth & had fanny & Jane, I have searched for this but cannot find it.  Thanks for rest though greatly appreciated
