I'm not seeing a Richard Grant Watson on any census records.

Does your SIL have any idea where or when he was born?

Or where and when he died?

Going back to the 1901 census I posted for Lily Irving with parents.... Thomas D Irving and Isabella........

Here is the family in 1911

Richard Grant Wats in the 1911 England Census

If you check out the image..........the ink is smeared and I think Richard Grant Wats is actually Richard Grant Watson.

there is a Richard Watson born penrith but no middle name


Births Dec 1889 (>99%)

Watson Richard Penrith 10b 421

PricklyHolly Report 19 Jul 2016 18:46

I am guessing that Richard was later baptised with the middle name of "Grant"

I am liking the 1912 birth for Isabella Watson......as that was the name of Lily's mother.
