OK, a little bit stuck now with one branch of my tree, don't know if it's just because I'm tired but am getting nowhere trying to find info on the census! Info I have already :- John V C Watters married Mary Elizabeth Stone Dec 1909, W.Derby. A contact has told me that Mary was one of 7 children, her siblings being Albert, Edith, Charles, Walter and William, but I don't know where he got that info from, and i'm having no joy looking on Ancestry for the info. Anyone got a fresh pair of eyes and feel like helping me out? Laura x
