census lookup for 1891-1901 - COMPLETED, thanks.

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,
I would appreciate the 1901 details if you can locate this family as am very sure they are the ones I am trying to find.  Thanks,  Hinton.

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,

[cjl]

Hinton,

1891 census should read,

Charlton Watson     Son             1              Born Tanfield, Durham

Sorry I misread the forename as Charlotte.

Great work. Thanks again.
Hinton.

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.
