on the 1911 census, it looks as if Ethel Mary Watkins (bn 1886) is in Hillingdon, Middlesex

[trish1120]

Have you checked for Alice/Ethel in 1911?.

1901 Alice born c 1885 Weston, is with her Grandmother Mary Ann Meck (Meek) in Pontshill
Next Census she is home with Parents son Marriage post 1911. Elizabeth/Annie are there also.
The date of that Census was 2 April.

Ethel Mary W is a Servant in the last Census, so still unm. Living in Middlesex

Possible Marriage Reg;
Alice M Watkins, March 1911, Ross, 6a 645
Possible Spouses, GODWIN    Frederick or PARRY Thomas H C
You can search for Births on FreeBMD with name Parry or Godwin post 1911, mothers MN Watkins and see who she Married.
(looks like it was Mr Parry)

Ethels marriage may be harder to track depending whether she stayed in Middlesex or went back to Herts.

Thank you Trish & Spidermonkey, I will search the census with the hope of finding a few marriages for the Watkins girls.

I appreciate your time and effort, thank you again.

Kind Regards

To put all the info in one place - it looks as if Ada had 4 siblings:

Alice bn c1885 single in 1911
Ethel bn c1887 single on 1911 census
Ada Jane bn 1890 mar Wallace Davis
Elizabeth bn c1896 with parents in 1911
Anne bn c1900 with parents in 1911.  May have been registered as Annie Watkins (Ross, Mar qtr 1900)

Thank you Spidermonkey all names are a great help, it was thought Ada only had one sister so it was a surprise to the lady I am helping.

Kind Regards

Can someone please check if there were any males born to Henry Thomas WATKINS & Eliza MEEK, they had  5 daughters some born in Ryeford and Pontshill but I was told there were two sons.

Hope they can be found......thank you.

I suspect  that it is unlikely that there were two sons to Henry Thomas Watkins and Eliza Meek - look on the 1911 census at the number of children born to that marriage.  We have identified 5 girls born to the couple which means any more would have to have been born after 1911.  Whilst it is possible, Eliza was 46 in 1911 so the chances of conceiving have reduced.

It might be that Eliza died and Henry remarried and had children with new wife.  Or that Henry and Eliza brought up grandchildren.

There is a death for an Eliza Watkins in Ross, Jun qtr 1911 aged 46.  Will have a look now for a new marriage for Henry Thomas Watkins.
