Trying to find any info about Charlotte Watson born circa 1865 in Hulme, South Manchester and died in 1927. She was my great grandmother on my fathers side. Her profession was a master china dealer and she lived in Hulme (54 Dunham Street in 1891 & 257 City Road in 1901). She had 4 children to her first husband Robert McNeil, who were Robert, Wilfrid Daniel Dominic, Gertrude Josephine & Angela. She was widowed before 1901. He was a cabinet maker and was born in Southport, Lancs. Also any info on her children would be appreciated. I know Wilfrid (my grandfather) lived in Hulme (85 Clopton Street) and married Mary Walsh (16 Mallow Street) at St. Wilfrids Church in Hulme and they had twin daughters, Agnes & Rita, who died in 1935, a few hours old. He was in a Scottish Regiment at some time. (possibly the Manchester Scots) They had a son Gerald (my father). Angela never married and Robert married Lily (maiden name unknown). They had 2 children, Robert and Wilfrid. Robert married Mary (maiden name unknown and also had 2 children, Robert who died young and Geoffrey. Josephine married William Taylor and they had a son Harry, who I believe never married and may still be alive and living in Manchester, and Robert who died young. Charlotte married a second time in 1902 to John Lafferty & had a child called Mary who married William Maloney. They had a son William (Bill) who is still alive and I am in touch with and a daughter Veronica who died as a child in August 1936. Any info on anyone here would be very much appreciated.
