While the name Watson is on folks minds, can anyone help with this one.  There are 4 baptisms between 1802 and 1809  at South Shields, St Hilda and Shields St John Presbyterian for children of Thomas Horseman, Cordwainer, native of Richmond, Yks;  and his wife Margaret Watson, native of Kelso, North Britain. There is a subsequent baptism for a daughter of William Horseman, Cordwainer, native of Richmond,  and his wife Mary Watson, native of Kelso.   >From the Richmond PR's I can account for Thomas,  but not William, so wonder if accents, and deaf clergy may have something to do with the difference.   What I wonder is can anyone point me to the marriage of any male Horsman / Horseman and female Watson,  sometime around 1800/1801. My suspicion is that it could be an 'Irregular' marriage which could be difficult to find.   Thanks   Sue Horsman
