Remember that at that time many people were unable to read or write so the spelling of surnames was really down to the choice of the registrar. A lot depended upon the accent of the person giving the information and whether the registrar was used to the local accent. For what it's worth, I think that Barthorpe and Bartrop could reasonably refer to the same surname.

It's been a while but I thought I'd let you good people know my findings. Vera, your wild suggestion was a winner, I found Mary Ann Godfrey's burial in 1888. She was buried along with children named Andrews, in a grave owned by an Andrews ( my Sarah married an Andrews ) The death cert named her son George Watson. I found a marriage for him to a Martha Hewitt (witnesses at Sarahs wedding ) Sarah was a witness at theirs. I also have the marriage of Mary a Watson and Bentley Godfrey. Mary's father was George Barthorpe. I then got a look at Harriet's birth ( Sarah's sister) That upset things because mothers maiden name on this was Nicholson. I looked at births again and found another Harriet, b. Mar 1842. Bingo! same details as Sarah. I just need to find marriage and possibly death fot Thomas, Could it possibly be Mary Bartrop and Thomas Watson Q4 1841 East Retford, Nottinghamshire?

Perhaps not at present but later maybe something will just help to make a link with the Benjamin Watson on Sarah Ann's marriage cert.

Hello

I checked out that 1911 where your grandfather had previously lived. The only connection I could find was that William Byron who started off as a Cattle Drover and later became a Butcher had the same occupation as George of the Thomas and Mary family who worked as a Butcher too but just to confuse things also did a stint on one census as an Engineer.
