Hi Louise -- do you think this might have been her son?

Year of Registration: 1912
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Mother's Maiden Name: Watts

-- or is that the bit you know already?


There are several marriages in Ontario after 1912 that you could consider:

Father Name: Frederick Watts
Mother Name: Mary Jane Drew Watts

Family History Library Microfilm: MS932_525


Name: Emily Gough Watts
Age: 25
(born in Newcastle Under Lyme, per the GRO)

Is this Emily likely yours? --

Name: Emily Watts
Year of Registration: 1890
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Linton
County: Cambridgeshire, Essex
Volume: 3b
Page: 503


Or maybe this one -- my official geography isn't up to snuff for this:


Name: Emily Elizabeth Watts
Year of Registration: 1895
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Worcester
County: Hereford and Worcester, Worcestershire
Volume: 6c
Page: 300


If you have the birth cert for her son, does it give an expanded name, with middle name, for Emily? an occupation?

Birth records for Ontario and Canadian provinces generally are only available for up to 100 years ago, so looking for kids, if she married here, isn't really possible.

If I can be of any assistance with what Canadian records are available, let me know!
