Hi I am trying find any information regarding my great grandfather RICHARD JACKSON WATSON born in approximately 1880. He was a Salesman. He went on to marry a ELIZABETH BURNAND and we believe they were born in and definately lived in Sunderland Tyne and Wear. The only information that we have about Elizabeth is that we think she had some connection to Burnand Shoe Shop in Maritime Terrace in Sunderland. They went on to have 3 children: GEORGE born approximately 1914 and died in 1947. He was married to a GWEN maiden name unknown. They had no children. RICHARD (my Grandfather) born 1917 died 1996. He married a EVA HORNER. They had one son RICHARD DAVID WATSON who married a LINDA HODGSON - who had one daughter (me!) FAYE WATSON. MARJORIE born 1920 and died 2003. She married a JAMES GRAY (Jim). They had one daughter JENNIFER who married BRYAN IMRAY - they had one daughter CATRIONA and are currently living in Peace River Canada. If anyone has any information I would love to hear from you. Thanks Faye
