Not Sure where he was born.

Married in Farnsfriled Notts.

We believe he has Norfolk (possibly Swaffham) connection somewhere.

My grandfather George Stanley Watson (prettty certain born 1896 - from marriage certificate entry) and certainly dies 31st October 1956 in Coundon Co Durham

cannot locate then family on the census of 1901

Father Frederick Watson was a master saddler and had died before 1926 (when George Stanley got married)

Can anyone help?
