Hi Dorothy,
I have just recently joined the "Genes" family although I have been studying family history for many years, Unfortunately I hit a brick wall with my grandfather on my fathers side. His name was Frederick Watson born @ 1872 somewhere in Yorks -- thought at one time it was around Beverley -- but have exhausted that theory. He was married in Misson an 1908, lived at Wroot, Wadworth, Woolley, (Hartlepool - where he died in 1938) but is buried with his wife in Mexborough. He also had relatives in Wakefield. Does any of this mean anything to you. Oh -- his father was John a farmer -- on his marriage cert.

Glynnis,
As the original message was posted 8 years ago, Dorothy is probably not expecting any reply here, and may not be a member any more.
You could try clicking on her name to send her a personal message.
Or you could start a new message/thread, explaining what help you would like and what you have found/are trying to find.

Is this the marriage?:
Marriages Jun 1908
Thompson Ada Doncaster 9c 1525
Watson Frederick Doncaster 9c 1525

Patchem,

Yes it is the correct marriage. Sorry I was'nt thinking about the date of Dorothy's message, it looks as if Derek did'nt get a reply 3 yrs ago either. Thanks for pointing it out.
