I'm trying to find more about my great great grandfather. I believe he was born 1889, Cumberland and that he was married to Kathleen. They both moved down to bedfordshire to farm in the early 1900s and my dad tells me that they came by train. My dad also tells me that Ashton Watson was one of 11 siblings. If anyone knows of the Watson's from Cumberland I would be eager to find out more.
Thanks
