Could someone please look on 1891 census for: William Watson born 1875 /1876 Sunderland. He was living in Ryhope with his wife in 1901 census. I am hoping he is with his parents and he is living at Borough rd, Bishopwearmouth as that is his given address on his marriage cert in 1895.His father is named as Robert on the marriage cert. Thankyou Alyson

Thanks Jools. That is the family that i have been researching but unfortunately they are the wrong ones. I forgot to mention (which i will correct on my thread) that William's father is named as Robert. Unless his name is Robert Thomas which is a possibility. Regards Alyson

Thanks again Jools. Both are a start for me to go on. Robert's occupation on the marriage cert in 1895 is Shoemaker but he could have changed his Job at any time. Regards Alyson
