Hi Rose, Fanny Blanche Watson died 13th March 1971 the day after my 13th birthday so remember it well, she died in St james hospital leeds. she never married although had 4 children to John Thomas brewer and then one child to Frederick Jackson. Facinating what you find out, I am so interested in finding my ancestors now, I know that John Thomas Brewer died I think in 1978 if I recall but cannot find as yet if he went on to have any further siblings or even get married.
Aunt beattie may have been know as something else I am uncertain, still trying to peice that together, come from a large and somewhat fragmented family. Thank yoiu for your help

Not seeing your aunt Beattie? I looked for Brewer/Watson births on FreeBMD but couldn't see a likely candidate.

When did Fanny die? I can't see a death for her under Brewer or Watson.

I found that census on another site.

This could be the marriage of George and Harriet???

Marriages Jun 1904 (>99%)
Cousins Harriett Venice Hull 9d 552
Watson George William Hull 9d 552

The birth certificate of Fanny would confirm their names.

There are possibly 4 more children born after 1911??

Use FreeBMD to find them -

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Put in Surname as Watson and Spouse/Mother surname as Cousins

Then you can try using the "Search all trees" function under the Search button above.

If you find a possible match you can contact the tree owner to see if you have a connection.
