George was living there in 1871
maddie

He married Jane Olding in Southampton in 1873.

I thought that was quite odd but there were family members living in Southampton at the time.

I have to go out now but I will check back on here later.

Thankyou for your help.

just trying to tie him in with 1881census, have you found his marriage
maddie

Hi Maddie

Yes that is my George Watts with parents James and Virtue.

I have all the info for him up to the 1881 census and then the family seem to disappear!

No, Austin, you didn't confuse things, I think you unconfused them. (That's not a word, is it?)

I think so- sorry, if I've confused things!

Oh, I see what you mean, Austin, the 1881 that you posted is different from the one that David posted, similar but different family. So the 1891 census that I posted is the other family.

David- what else do you know about the family?

to go with Magee's find just in case

Hello Margee-
David posted this 1881 census

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I am a bit confused so I will go and check out the 1891 and 1901 that Margee and Andy posted.

Mind you, it does look as if the 1881 that Austin posted matches up with the 1891 and 1901?

I think!

What Andy posted for 1901 is the same family that I posted for 1891. Are you saying it's not the right family?

Andy- I don't think that's the correct family, as here they are in 1881:
