Well I had it all typed out in Word but couldnt figure out how to transfer to here, so bear with the mess GR makes of everything. I am looking for Frederick George Watts b.1869 Norton St Phillip Somerset. He was a Twin. Brother William Worthy Watts. Father Worthy Watts b. c.1846 Hinton Charterhouse Somerset. Mother Mary Ann Rose c.1847 Norton St Phillip. On 1871 he is George. On 1881 Frederick. In 1902 he married Jane Pope at Richmond Surrey. Widower, can`t read occupation,might be Driver. I can`t find him in 1891 or 1901 I want to know who he was previously married to and any children. Any help greatly appreciated. Many thanks Sylvia.

Good luck with search Christine

Sorry can´t see him either.

Thank you for looking, Elaine and Christine. He must have avoided the census some how or he`s badly mis- transcribed. I will try trawling marriages and perhaps find him through the wife. Regards Sylvia.

Hi Sylvia - I was hell bent and determined to find Frederick George for you - but after an hour or more and hundreds of Frederick Georges, George Fredericks, Georges and Fredericks I have 'come up empty' so, I will give this a nudge and see what the experts come up with (and hopefully they will tell us how they did it!!). Worthy still in Norton St Philip - and what looks as though it could be a brother of Worthy's on page 3 or 4, (Worthy on page 10). Victoria Australia Oh, and if you type up the message in Word, then just put a heading in and copy and paste the word document into 'add reply' - that way it will come out as intended and not scrambled!

Sylvia when you start a thread then type see below(or anything else you want like 'to follow') in the text and then add you info as a reply to the thread it than comes up as you write it not all jumbled as Genes do it.

Hello Victoria, Pen and Shirley. I have been out all day so only just seen your replies. Many, many thanks for the efforts you have made to trace this elusive bloke. I dont think it can be him in Gloucester in 1901 as he married in Richmond Surrey in 1902 as a widower. I saw someone in my searches who was a bus conductor and discounted it but now I think on,he could have been a bus conductor who progressed to a driver which I think is on MC. Trouble is I cant remember where I saw the bus conductor!!! Never mind, it`s all part of the fun of research isnt it. Thank you all for your help. Regards, Sylvia.
