Sophia Anderson

[miss s]

Hello,

I was wondering if any pro's out there could help me, I cant find anything for this person. She is my husbands Grt x2 Grandmother.

Sophia Anderson, she married John Watson (my husbands grt x 2 Grandfather)
They had a child called George Watson. I can see from George Watson's marriage cert they are both still alive in 1905, George lived in St Cyrus at the time, Im wondering if Sophia and John did too? Johns occupation is noted as a ploughman.

George died in 1931, Sophia is still noted as Sophia Skene, Previously Watson, M.S Anderson

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I seem to have hit a brick wall

When did Sophia and John Watson get married, how old was Sophia when she married?

When was George born?

[miss s]

George was born around 1878, cant find a birth cert for him.. so all I have is his marriage and death cert with the info of his parents. Therefore, Im also not sure about the date of marriage for his parents, Sophia and John

There is a death in 1885 In Aberdeen for a Sophia Anderson other name Watson in Scotland’s People .

Might be worth a look

Norma

Forget that too old to have a son in 1878

[miss s]

I seen that, but she is still alive at the point of her son George's wedding in 1905 and on George's death cert in 1931 she is remarried as Sophia Skene previously Watson

Did George have a middle name, also what was his occupation on his marriage?

[softly softly]

miss s, you seemingly have George's marriage cert. Who did he marry and have you found them in 1911 census. Is so does his dob and birth place check out?

John

On George's marriage certificate, was she Sophia Watson MS Anderson or Sophia Skene previously Watson MS Anderson?
