Thread: George m WATTs

Hi
My brick wall is so high its getting harder to climb!! I am in need of a LOT of HELP from you please in
removed as part of another request from lavender

My Grandfather FREDERICK HENRY GEORGE is supposed to have been born in 1881 in SIDNEY AUSTRALIA, He was in the Machine Gun Corps at the time of the first world war, either in the Australian Army or joined up here in the UK?? During or after WW1 he was a DRAUGHTSMAN working in MANCHESTER.
LILIAN WATT my grandmother was born in 1892 in Manchester. I found her on the 1901 census living with her Mother HELEN STEWART WATT at 17 CLAREMONT OR CLAREMOUNT ST SOUTH MANCHESTER but stating both being born in ARBROATH SCOTLAND. We believe she and FREDERICK met and wed in LONDON (not sure of a date) and moved to MANCHESTER
Someone I know looked to see if they could find any of the family living in Manchester the year before my father was born.
She found in 1926 living at 86 BISHOP St, MANCHESTER, UK, HELEN WATT, LILIAN GEORGE and FREDERICK HENRY GEORGE, (Dad was born in 1927.)
Why am I unable to find them anywhere else, I dont have a wedding certificate for LILIAN AND FREDERICK or any birth cert information for FREDERICK.
So apart from that one address with HELEN and LILIAN and the other with HELEN LILIAN and FREDERICK in I have found nothing!!!!????
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CAN YOU HELP ME????????????????????

many thanks (Hopefully) in advance
Val

Hello Val!

Crikey, you have given so much information that I am not sure where to start! Perhaps it would be a good idea for you to break down the different people that you would like to trace and submit them into various threads?

I have looked at Helen Watt born Arbroath and found one living with her parents (Father Alexander), born about 1869. Ref:Scottish Cencus, 22, 18, 14. If you think this may be correct I can get other details for you. Watt is a Scottish surname.

Moved to Stienhofil postings







The above posting had 2 queries that were split, in the process this was attached to the above post, my intention was that it go with the GEORGE m WATTs posting but I wasn't successful, waitng for someone else to deal with ( Don!)

I know this posting was part of a bigger one. Who are we looking for ?

This has been split down but the information on Watts seems to have disappeared!

Apologies - just found the George m Watts thread by Lavender!
