Prickly had a pm from rambling rose to pass on to you

Hi Shirley, sorry to bother you but perhaps you would be kind enough to pass this on to PrickyH as I don't have her in my contacts,

The National Roll of the Great War has an R E T Watton driver in the RFA listed who in 1914 lived at 81 High St Bitterne, the address for Mrs K Watton, He was invalided home and discharged 1918

Thanks very much :-) I really think I will have to rejoin lol,

Take care

Marriages Dec 1890 (>99%)

Dear Kate Southampton 2c 37
Parker Daniel Southampton 2c 37

Oh, just noticed your post Margaret.

That was the family i was checking on.

It seems Kate's father was Parker and her mmn was Dear.

I think i might have figured it out.

Back in a mo........

Looks good Margaret!

Just going back to the births posted by Shirley- both Zena and Ernest are registered with surname Trent Watton (I suspect that the T in Daisy's name is also for Trent).

A tree on Ancetry says that Robert Eltham Trent Watton married Kate Dear Parker 1909, Southampton but FreeBMD just refers to her as Kate Dear:

Marriages Mar 1909 (>99%)
DEAR Kate Southampton 2c 23
WATTON Robert Eltham T Southampton 2c 23

This marriage ties in with that census......

Marriages Sep 1896 (>99%)
Virgo Rosina Kate Portsea 2b 912
Walton Peter Portsea 2b 912

Clutching at straws here. This family lives on High St., Bitterne but no number given and the name is Walton not Watton. However her name is Rosina KATE.

I never thought of that Margaret.

I checked out that 1939 entry earlier Shirley .........but couldn't find a suitable marriage.

Marital status married but separated

The fact that she's Mrs. K. Watton suggests to me that her husband's first name was K.
