Watson family of Marske, Hartlepool, Brotton

[clanlyles]

Does anyone have information on the Watson family of Marske?  Here is what I have (but I wish for more):

William Snaith Watson (born 1917 in USA) son of:
William Snaith Watson (born 1882 in Marske, Yorkshire) son of:
Horatio Watson (born 1856 in Durham, Hartlepool, Yorkshire) son of:
Michael Watson (born 1816 in Brotton, Yorkshire) son of:
Thomas Watson (born ?, where ?) any information on this man and back would be greatly appreciated.  Also any help on how to decipher the township names in England would be helpful for this southern american boy.

Hi Clanlyles

Sorry we haven't been able to help you so far on this one.  I am doing a bit of housekeeping work on this board and wondered if you have made any progress, or do you have any further details that could help someone to find what you are looking for?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes

Hello Clanlyles

I have had a look round for Thomas on the 1841 Census which is not fully indexed yet, I have not found him.

19th Feb 1823 burial Thomas Watson age 36 at Brotton St Margaret may be him.

1823 Baines Trade Directory has Thomas Watson  in the Tailor section. I have only seen the index.

The area you are researching is covered by Cleveland Family History Society, there website is worth a browse to see what they publish, the Genuki Web has the address. What you need are Parish Records.
England is divided into Counties, Yorkshire is divided into North East and West Ridings. You are researching near the Yorkshire  border with Durham, if in the past the border has moved a town may be indexed with two counties. A modern map of England still has the places you are looking at.

Below is a site to search the Trade Directories

Good luck with the research sorry not to have given more direct help.

hi olly
this thomas occupation you found has a tailor fits well with his son michaels marriage as they were both tailors . on it  so i would say a real possibilite for him

olly
just been looking at michael wedding certicate. doesnt mention his father been deceased on it. so maybe that death isnt him.as michael married 1841. sorry i never checked it sooner love netty   

[angelfish58]

Don't rule it out just because marriage cert doesn't state father deceased. I have a few where the father was deceased but  isn't shown as such on the cert, maybe the question wasn't asked.

Hello Angelfish now thats a nice name ,

I wanted to say that about the certificate but I thought, Nasty Netty will I be safe.
Is she really Nasty or perhaps just naughty?

Regards Oly
