Grandad: Thomas Joseph Watson 1899, Greenwich. He was a builder/decorator with his brothers. I don't know who his brothers were or if he had sisters! He married Florence Maud Mewett around 1917-1918, had two daughters: Doris born 1919 and Violet born 1925 (my mum) she just passed away in June. Grandad was divorced from my grandmother and married a woman named Winnie (I don't remember a lot about her) they had a daughter named Iris. Grandad died in 1971 and there was not a lot of contact with Winnie and Iris after that. I have lived in the States for the passed 30 years. Grandad's parents were Augustus Richard Watson born 1870 in Deptford London England and Rosina Seymour Moore. My mum was Violet Watson Hyde.

1911 Census
I've used the free search to find these names ........ one ahs to buy credits to see any more information.
It costs £6.95 to buy 60 credits on the 1911 website www.fmpbsol.1911census.co.uk.
It takes 10 credits to look at the transcript, or 30 credits to look at the actual census image.
I am not sure that these are all living in the same household ..... you'll have to buy the credits to look at the transcript, or preferably the census image. No-one is offering to do these look-ups on the 1911 census just because they are so difficult.
We have found some of the names for you ...... I have indicated those. But there may well have been more children born between 1906 and 1911 ..... the London records of baptisms end at 1906.
