Francis Felmingham Watson (1876-1958) had a great interest in researching his family history. He passed on photographs, documents and findings to his son, Ronald Maurice Watson (1908-1972). Ronald conducted some of his own research.
Here are gathered scans of trees and notes of Ronald and Francis along with photographs, documents and newspaper clippings they collected.
Many thanks to Watson-4821 for giving Chris Orme the oportunity to see and scan this wonderful family treasure trove!
Some documents have not been uploaded (copyright, privacy of living people or other reasons) but details of the source have been entered as citations in the appropriate profiles:
- Original Death Certificate of Emily Sophia Watson (abt.1863-1937)
- Original Birth Certificate, Henry Hunter Semple born 4 January 1848.
- Original Marriage Certificate of Clara Ann Christina Watson (1854-1937) and Henry Hunter Semple (1848-1927)
- Original Death Certificate, Henry Hunter Semple, died 24 Oct 1927.
- Personal letter from Thomas Richard Robson (1909-1981) and Lily Violet Tanner (1910-) "Tom and Lill" to Ronald Maurice Watson (1908-1972) and Gladys Edith (Goodwin) Watson (1909-2007). The letter appears to be addressed to "Don and Grace", but the first paragraph of the second page very clearly reads, "Hope you are not working too hard Ron..." Given that this, original document, is in the collection of Ronald Maurice Watson (wife Grace), there seem to be good grounds to assume that the opening address was a mistake.
