you give no idea of year of birth (at the least), nor which part of Northumberland.

?? This one
Mary I Watson (James)'s life in 1939
23 Ridge Terrace, Bedlingtonshire U.D., Northumberland, England

James household
(3 people)
First name(s) Last name(s) DOB Sex Occupation Marital status Schedule Schedule Sub Number
William B James 25 Nov 1888 Male Miner Underground Married 40 1
Mary I Watson (James) 30 Dec 1886 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married 40 2

The record for this person is officially closed. Can I get around this?

Ref: RG101/2963J/004/37 Letter Code: GCEV

James has been crossed out and Watson written in - but then that has been heavily scored through

ArgyllGran Report 30 May 2019 15:42

Watson is the married name of their daughter, who is the closed record in 1939.
It was written on the wrong line by mistake and then scored out.

Their marriage.
One of the page numbers has been mistranscribed - it's not clear on the original if it's 883 or 885.

Marriages Jun 1922 (>99%)
James William B Lynn Morpeth 10b 883 [ or 885 ?]
LYNN Mary I James Morpeth 10b 885 [ or 883 ? ]

They had one daughter, born 1923 in Morpeth.
She married a Watson in Northumberland in 1942.

The Watson/James couple then had a daughter in Northumberland C in 1943.
She in turn married in Northumberland C in 1963, and is probably still living in Northumberland, per 2019 ER..

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
