Looking at it again I think Mary was born Weston Hills but not very readable  ::) ::)

What happened to Matilda (4m in 1891)?

Was she

Watson    Hailey Ann         Holbeach    7a   355

who became Annie?  Should Hailey be Tilly?

Hi Geoff,
Matilda is a bit of a conundrum.I can't find her  on the March 1/4 birth regs and by chance she was born in December 1890 I can't find her on the Dec 1/4 birth reg because unfortunately on freeBMD the page that could have her name on is missing.
I havn't searched in the same way for her death yet but a quick look on Freebmd  does show a Matilda Watson who died aged 1 in Holbeck in Sept 1891.I havn't checked it yet but I wondered if it was a mistranscription because her area would be Holbeach.
I'm afraid I don't know anything about Hailey Ann.I've only just discovered Annie so gone into it deeply.
I've no Idea who the father of the 1st 2 children was.
Trisha ;D ;D ;D ;D

The death in Holbeck (Leeds) is a red herring ... there's a Matilda WATSON aged 1 in Holbeck in 1891 census.

As the Holbeach one was 4m in the census, she wouldn't have had a birthday by September of that year.

Hi Kerry and Geoff,
that birth is the one on the missing page on the imageson freebmd-thanks.
Thanks Geoff for clearing up the Holbeck/Holbeach problem.So what's happened to her I wonder?
Trisha ;D ;D ;D

I imagine Annie and Matilda must be the same child.  Otherwise, one must ask "where was Annie in 1891?" as there's no one around that fits.

Hi Geoff,
I'm inclined to agree with you.It's just a pity that the birth reg didn't give her name as Matilda Annie!  That would have solved a big problem ;)
