Find Ancestors

would appreciate it if anyone can help me find any information on my husbands grandmother Alice Watson.She married George Watson in 1896 at North Wingfield Derbyshire. This is the only information I have so far managed to find as her maiden name looks to have also been Watson. My mother in law used to say that Alice s mother had never married which is why I am probably drawing a blank in trying to trace her. I do know however that she was born in moss side Manchester.

this looks like them on the 1911 census

Could this be her in 1911, guessing as you didnt give a birth year.

Yes this is the family.I haven't got the marriage certificate ,my information came from the 1911 census and a marriage record. The entry is PC39/05/333 on the record. Thanks for the response.

looks like her birth Chorlton covered Moss Side
Births Sep qtr 1876 Alice Watson Chorlton 8c 785

So her mothers name was Ann Watson ,thanks. can any one help with where I take it from there ?

Something amiss with age of George william Watson,it says age 28 married 15 years = he was 13 when he married in 1896!!!!!!!!

Maryb

Edit just looked at original he was 38 = born 1873.

Got that Shirley,thanks.

At first glance it does look like 28 but enlarging it qiite a bit its actually 38!! think he put a 2 and then tried to alter it but still looks like a 2. he has written a 3 in the next margin buts its been missed

Never noticed the age but they definitely married in 1896.He was born around 1874 so it should be aged 38.

Ann Watson was George's Mother (in 1901 census). She came from Wingfield, Derby, as he did.
And she is down as single in that census, not married nor divorced.

You need to get the marriage certificate of George and Alice to see what information that contains.

Thanks for the help I was given yesterday by you all. It is certainly them in the 1911 census but I do not appear to have the 1901 census.It says he was from Durham on the 1911 so I am well confused I'm afraid as I always understood he was from Durham and that Alices mother had never married.

Chorlton covers Moss Side so this is possibly her birth which would give you her mother's name.
