There is a "Margaret Young Watson" listed as being born in Q4 1843 on the free BMD index. In the 1851 census there's a Margaret J Young age 7 daughter of Isaac and Sarah living in the parish of St Peter, Newcastle Upon Tyne. Another option is Margaret Young age 12 (probably a bit old), daughter of Robert and Alice in the parish of St Nicholas. If we are looking for people born in Newcastle, there is also: 1851 Census, Monkwearmouth Shore 1851 Census, North Quay William Watson, Head, Married, 30, Optician & Nautical Instrument Maker, born Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland Jane Watson, Wife, Married, 29, born Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland Margaret Watson, Daughter, 5, Scholar, born Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland William T. Watson, Son, 1, born Monkwearmouth, County Durham Hope one of these helps. I have some Watsons from Seaham in my tree if you find your Watson family spread that far.
