Find Ancestors

Thanks MarieCeleste once again I cannot confirm this I really do not know how I would be able to trace him. The biggest nuisance is that have no place of birth for Arthur (son) or Edward (father) hence, in my mind no way of confirming. I also do not know if Edward was always working as a Ship Steward. As mentioned above I only have what is on Arthurs marriage cert.

Thank you anyway

Not sure if anyone can tell me where to go from here or any advice that can be given to trace this rather elusive rellie.

Could this Arthur have been left with people while family away on ship?

Thanks Jonesey pondering.......No idea really

Shame no Arthur unless he changed from Harold to Arthur as notice in earlier census 1901 Catherine probably is probably millie(?) and looks as if second marriage also by Edward to Alice on tyhe 1911

Unfortunately as mentioned I have no way of confirming this but thanks.

The only Edward Watson in 1911 census with a possible occupation that might match but unfortunately no Arthur born c1900 shown in the record so it could be a red herring.

Details are

St Johns Church Stratford West Ham 15 April 1922

Bride Louisa Charman age 19
Groom Arthur Watson age 22 both residing at 35 Langthorn Street.
Arthurs occupation is a Traveller (I believe this would have been a Salesman) father is down as deceased Edward Watson Occupation Ship Steward.

In 1925 he was still at Langthorn Street (according to Electoral Roll)

Witmess were H Charman (Louisa father)
