Is your Charles Henry Watson the one in Malta on the Royal Oak Navy Vessel in 1901?

Had a look in 1891 and can't find him, maybe he was on a ship then too (not RN maybe cos he'd be too young I presume, but another?)

Had a look for your Thomas and Louisa too on the earlier censuses, found a couple in Portsea if thats any good? Louisa was born there and Thomas was born Kent. Let me know if you want details, cos not sure if this is the right couple (Theres also a marriage in 1870 of a Thomas Watson to a Louisa White in Portsea)

Hi Catone,
                I would be interested to see the details on the Charles Henry in 1901 please. The problem I am having is connecting Charles Henry and Thomas as they seem to disappear in the '91 census. The Thomas you have been looking at is the same on I have been looking into, I've got bmd certs for him but still not sure if he's the right one  ???

 Thanx Mat
