Just need to find Edward now on 1841 & 1851 now.

I did think that his mother Hannah Watkinson married a William Higdon in 1825 butnot so sure now as I think I found her burial in 1835 in Papplwick as an unmarried woman.

Hi All,

I think the Edward who died in 1874 is the one from Papplewick and they put wrong age on death.

I wish the archives was open :-( :-(.

Hi Maddie,

Thank you for the 1871 census I wonder if Edward Watkinson is the one who died in the workhouse in 1874 but his age is down as 74 making him born 1800 8yrs to old.
