	PMSL or a bit of rope to either wind Rosie in or tie down the right Watson (Have sent a PM to Rosie)

Member Since: August 2010 Posts: 13 Send Message	Thankyou for all your replies. I did reply before and a long reply! It would not send for some reason, just disappeared. I have checked out the BMD and everywhere else on the planet! I am looking for a Keith Watson, born 1908. I have been told that he may have changed his name at some point so that makes searching somewhat difficult! I thought seeing a list of names might sort of ring bells. Quite honestly, I don't know what to do anymore. I am in Holland so can't visit the records office personally. The only clue I have for his birthplace is a letter he wrote saying 'When I was a boy, I would visit D.H. Lawrence for tea' That is why I thought he came from Eastwood. Thankss again, Rosie

	Hi Rosie. Do you mean he changed his name from Watson or to Watson ? The only Keith Watsons born around that time... Births Jun 1907 WATSON Keith Rebbeck - Tisbury 5a 196 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Dec 1907 Watson Keith Augustus - W. Ham 4a 380
Member Since: August 2010 Posts: 13 Send Message	Rosie	Report	4 Sep 2010 22:29
Member Since: August 2010 Posts: 13 Send Message	I think he may have changed Keith but nothing is certain. The problem is that anyone who might have known, have died. I will take a closer look at the two Keith's that you gave me. Thankyou! Rosie

	How is he related to you? Do you have any names of parents or siblings ?
Member Since: August 2010 Posts: 13 Send Message	Rosie	Report	4 Sep 2010 22:51
Member Since: August 2010 Posts: 13 Send Message	He was my father. On his marriage certificate he gave the name of his father as Ian Campbell Watson, Captain Wiltshire Yeomanry. Deceased. My dad's middle name was Braemar and he gave me the middle name of Campbell so I feel there must be a Scottish connection. I know no names of siblings but can't help but think there must be some.

	From Google ... Ian Campbell Watson (Jock) a Sargeant in the R.A.M.C married to Jean Morrison (Cumming) originally from Glasgow , living in 1918 at 58 Lamberth Rd London . Does anything fit ?
Member Since: August 2010 Posts: 13 Send Message	Rosie	Report	4 Sep 2010 23:16
Member Since: August 2010 Posts: 13 Send Message	Wow, I have never even found an Ian Campbell Watson. This could fit because I know my parents first thought of giving me the middle name of Jean. Now you have me excited! Where did you find this information? I could not find an Ian Campbell anywhere.

Member Since: August 2010 Posts: 13 Send Message	Michael, I found the site on Google where you found the info and will join up and mail the person who put the ad on the site. Thankyou so much, really thankyou.

	Oh, I'm so glad you think it might be a lead. Let us know how you get on.
