Find Ancestors

Hi I am looking for a Margaret Watson born 1892 in Derby Uk father John William Watson mother Margaret Swain

Name John William Watson
Event Type Census
Event Date 1911
County Derbyshire
Parish North Wingfield
Sub-District Ashover
Registration District Chesterfield
Gender Male
Age 18
Birthplace Seanor Lane North Wingfield, Derbyshire
Record Type Household

Curiosly I can't see the family on the 1901 or 1911 census, can't see birth of Margaret in 1892, nor marriage of parents.

A tree on Ancestry says that Margaret May Watson was born 14 Sept. 1892, Derby, daughter of John William Watson & Margaret Swain. It says she gave birth to a daughter, Margaret (Peg) Maskus, 1916, Melbourne, Australia and married William Maskus, 1919, Wagga Wagga, New South Wales.

Edit: Oops, possibly that's your tree, Aaron. But do you have proof that she was born in Derby, England?

(below come up on 'google search')


(if you're sure of a Derbyshire connection, worth asking Derek, on his 'Thread' below)

Thanks guys
malyon the cockermouth one keeps poping up I will have to check it out it is a year early but you never know
i know she died in Oz abt 1967

Aaron, what documents do you have that detail her parents and place of birth?

The Cockermouth one is unlikely as it does not fit with the details you have- she is listed on the census 1901 & 1911 with parents Joseph and Ann.

Clutching at straws here but this family did emigrate but to New Zealand

No, forget that as Thomas Fergus Watson remained in New Zealand. I thought perhaps the family had moved on to Australia.

I'll leave it on for elimination purposes.

I'm starting to look at Swain

But Aaron, what documents do you have that detail Margaret's parents and place of birth?

(been wondering the same)
