Newbie, looking for Thomas and Harriet Watson of Ripley Derbyshire.

That's brill thank you so much, I will look into buying the marriage certificate, our family have no records of anyone at all and my Grandma has been gone since 2002 so now there's no one to ask.

I had thought I found her on the GRO site born 1887 ...but then several comments came in while I was writing.

 SMITH, HARRIET  EMMA      Mother: FEARN     
GRO Reference: 1887  J Quarter in DERBY  Volume 07B  Page 587

Am I searching in vain? 

[Erica1980]

i haven't come across that name, I did find a charlotte Gunn Married to George Smith that i thought were Harriets parents but if she was a Smith the list is endless

[Erica1980]

There are 2 marriages recorded for Thomas Watson in 1909 one for Basford and one that is Nottingham but I'm unsure which one it would be

this is the head stone of Thomas, Harriet and Evelyn.  thank you so much for your help

Thanks for the photo.

I would say that "Pem" was a nickname/ pet name by which she was known,  relating to the Emma in her name.

Yes that must be the same as I found to. I just struggle to know what is real and what is a guess choosing the wrong ones have sent me on many a wild goose chase

[Alan of Kaslo]

You did say she was born in Derbyshire as far as you know?

I guess Basford is Nottingham which would tie into a previous posters comment on previous page.
