Walter Watson: Norton, Long Buckby, Whilton
« on: Friday 19 June 15 16:33 BST (UK) »

17 July 1806 Norton
Walter Watson of Muscott itpo Norton marries Ann Watson of Norton

25 Aug 1815 Elizabeth Ann Watson daughter of Walter & Ann  bpt Long Buckby

9 Nov 1817 George Watson son of Walter & Ann bpt Whilton
 17 July 1825 George Watson buried Whilton aged 7yrs 8mnths "accidentally drowned at Brownsover in the county of Warwick"

1841 Census Walter & Ann in Whilton both aged 50
1851 census Walter on his own in Whilton age 65 born Thrup Northants
1861 census Walter with married daughter Elizabeth A Bull & family at Bubbenhall Warwickshire age 75 born Norton Northants
Probate granted 1823 to Elizabeth Ann Bull, daughter & sole executrix


Can anyone trace Walter's parentage? And is his wife Ann a relation - who are here parents?

Theres 2 other marriages at Norton that might be his siblings:
18 April 1811 Jane W of Muscott & Joseph Billingham of Woolwich
28 May 1811 Esther W of Muscott & Henry Webb of Great Brington

Also, there's quite a gap between the marriage in 1806 and Elizabeth Ann's birth in 1815 -- are there any likely baptisms anywhere?

Thank you :)

Ann might connect into my Watson family from the Welton / Whilton areas as I have a John b1761 who could be her father
But no Stephens (as yet!)
