Hi I am looking for details of Isabella Watson, born about 1875 at Stakeford, Ashington She married John Murray in 1892. I can find her on both the 1901 and 1911 census but cannot find her at all on anything prior to her marriage. Is anyone researching this family please? Eric

Hi Eric Always helps to give the census reference when asking these sort of enquiries However, could this be your missing young lady with her grandmother in each case 1881 England Census about Isabella Watson Name: Isabella Watson Age: 7 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1874 Relation: Granddaughter Gender: Female Where born: Bedlington, Northumberland, England Civil parish: Bedlington County/Island: Northumberland Country: England Registration district: Morpeth Sub-registration district: Bedlington ED, institution, or vessel: 11 Neighbors: View others on page Piece: 5117 Folio: 19 Page Number: 32 Household Members: Name Age Elizabeth Watson 61 Isabella Watson 7 William Watson 23 Source Citation: Class: RG11; Piece: 5117; Folio: 19; Page: 32; GSU roll: 1342236. 1891 England Census about Isabella Watson Name: Isabella Watson Age: 16 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1875 Relation: Granddaughter Gender: Female Where born: Northumberland, England Civil parish: Bedlington Ecclesiastical parish: Choppington Town: Slateford County/Island: Northumberland Country: England Registration district: Morpeth Sub-registration district: Bedlington ED, institution, or vessel: 11 Neighbors: View others on page Piece: 4257 Folio: 102 Page Number: 10 Household Members: Name Age William Watson 30 Elizabeth Watson 70 Isabella Watson 16 Source Citation: Class: RG12; Piece: 4257; Folio: 102; Page: 10; GSU Roll: 6099367.

This might be your Isabella Watson. There is a baptism of a Mary Isabella Watson 12 Jul 1874 d/o Sarah Watson, singlewoman, Stakeford, baptised in Cambois St. Peter. A death of Sarah Watson in 1877. If you follow William from the previous answer back with a sister Sarah you will see the mother Elizabeth. Elizabeth is a widow (1861) and remarries to a John Baxter (1870) then after a few years he dies. Perhaps she reverted back to her old married name (1881) . Probably getting the marriage of Isabella would tell you if there is a fathers name or not. Janis
