census lookup for 1891-1901 - COMPLETED, thanks.
« on: Saturday 07 November 09 06:00 UTC (UK) »

Info required on Thomas and Catherine Watson.
Catherine was born c1858 in the Tanfield area. Have found a marriage in 1881 in the Lanchester district which is probably her to a Thomas Watson.  I realise that Watson is a popular name in the Durham area but are there any promising sightings please.   Hinton.

Hi CJL,

HI CJL,
All this info is great. Could I please have a check on Charlotte dau aged 1 in 1891 and Charlton 11 son in 1901.  Its possible they could be twins and one has been omitted or the enumerator getting carried away with the dittos.  Thanks,

Hinton,

1891 census should read,

Charlton Watson     Son             1              Born Tanfield, Durham

Sorry I misread the forename as Charlotte.

Hinton,

You are most welcome.  I think that I have found Thomas Watson on earlier census records, would you like the information?

Yes please.  The more info the better. Have been looking up births for the stepsons and have found a birth for a Thomas Watson Oxley covering the time frame of the one on the 1891 census.
It also raises the question were they illegitimate or had Catherine been married previously.

Hinton,

Have you found Catherine on the 1881 census, if not I can take a look for her and her two sons if you would like me to.

I think that this could be Thomas Watson in 1861.

48 South Moor, Butsfield, Lanchester, Durham

Thomas Watson          head             39            Coal Miner                          born Wolviston, Durham
Jane Watson               wife              39                                                       born Tanfield, Durham
Jane Watson               Dau              15                                                       born South Shields, Durham
George Watson           Son              11            Coal Miner                          born Lanchester, Durham
William Watson           Son                9             Scholar                               born Lanchester, Durham
Matthew Watson        Son                7             Scholar                               born Lanchester, Durham
Hall Watson              Son                5             Scholar                               born Lanchester, Durham
Thomas Watson         Son                3                                                        born Lanchester, Durham
Sarah Isabella Watson   Dau            8 Months                                           born Lanchester, Durham

There is a tree on Ancestry which gives Thomas' mother Jane's maiden name as Charlton.  The tree gives no further details.

I will look for the family in later census records.  Let me know if you want me to find catherine in earlier census records.

Hi CJL,
Thanks, I have Catherine on earlier census, and have just gone bk to look at the 81. Catherine unmarried and several grandchildren are with her Mother. I assumed they belonged to Catherines siblings but it would now appear that two of them are hers and were illegitimate.
Thanks for the offer.

Hello CJL,
As a PS when you have a moment could you do some sleuthing on the 2 stepsons Thomas & William.
on the 1901 census.
Thomas would be bn c1875/76 and William C1879/1880.
It is hard to pinpoint as there are 2 or 3 of each name bn Durham in the timeframe.
Am wondering if the William Watson Oxley I found is Catherine`s William.
Found his death Sept Q 1901 so he should be on the Census.
Thanks,
Hinton.
