Is there anyone who can find a Lydia Mary Watson b1872 in Southwold, Suffolk marrying a Mr Davis in America? Possibly in California from 1912 to 1958.Could anyone find the name of her husband? |

She did, but charles it seems did not follow her.That's interesting though if her father was named as next of kin. They must have divorced or he died, i haven't found any record of this. I assumed she was still married cos her occupation was 'wife'. I found her death mentioned as Lydia Mary Davis [Lydia Mary Watson] on ancestry.com, but cannot access the details due to not being a subscriber. And it wouldn't have given me her husbands name. |

Los Angeles, 1920 and 1930 USA censuses have a Lydia M Davis with husband Reynold R Davis, born Sweden. This is a son Robert born Connecticut...I think from a previous marriage of Reynold's, especially as Lydia Cullingford is travelling alone in 1912. Nor have I found a death for Charles. |

ooh it's certainly a possible match, does it mention if she is from Southwold, Suffolk ? Her Sister Evelyn Annie Watson lived in Los Angeles, and Eustace her nephew lived in California |

I'll assume that Reynold is the husband, and that perhaps Charles Cullingford died in Canada.Shame i can't find a wedding date. Thanks |
