Colin would be 98. Are you sure he is still alive?. Have you looked for his death?

Have you looked to see if there were children? Look on freebmd.org.uk to see if there are births in the Watson name with Fluskey as the mothers name.

What are you ‘trying to find out’?

Have you done any research yourself?

His parents will be named on his birth cert

Colin’s granddaughter has a tree on Ancestry. You could take out a free 2 week trial and contact her.

He is on the 1939 Register, so his death has been picked up

I am enquiring for his daughter who knows he died in Aug 1992. She is interested in her mother Margaret nee Fluskey who was born in Ireland

Thanks so far for your help. She needs to get death certificates I think.

So, you’re not asking about Colin Watson………….

For background re the man’s wife, get a copy of the marriage cert

Didn’t the daughter have contact with her parents?

Your mother appears to have had a brother. I suggest you contact his daughter as she has worked on the family tree.
