There are some well-researched and very interesting references to Richard Watson in Frank Sanderson's new book 'Life in the Northern Dales' which was published in November.
Preston in Newcastle (1770-1850) ; Brumwell - Weardale and Newcastle ; Wylie (Newcastle 1800-1870) ; Slaughter (Sussex and South Shields 1750-1850) ; Barkas (Newcastle 1750-1850) ; Redshaw (Medomsley and Newcastle 1750-1850) ; Simpson (Hamsterley 1720-1820) ; Anderson (Ryton 1750-1850) ; Chilton (Darlington 1750-1920) ; Pattison (West Tanfield, Bellerby, Northallerton) ; Sanderson (Hamsterley and Stanhope (1750-1850)

I have lost contact with my Uncle, Richard Watson, Great Grandson (or GGG ?) of the Teesdale Bard. My Uncle used to live in Reading but I can find no listing or his name on any census.

I am Peter Baylis, son of his sister Dorothy Baylis (nee Watson).

If you can be of help please send me a message and I will return my contact details to be forwarded.

Thanks

Thanks Richard (Xanox1981) I have now all the books published and I just love his poetry. Right now I'm trying to work out exactly what relationship I am to RW. I know my Mother and her brother are direct descendants but as for the connections, and my place, I need a little advice as to direction. Apart from my Uncle (sadly we are no longer in touch) has anyone else completed a family tree?
