Charles John Watson was the son of Charles Watson and Jane Johnson and was born on the 27th December 1864 at Thrift Street, South Shields, Durham, England.
In 1871 he was living with his mother and two brothers, Frederick and Alfred at 165 Eldon Street, Westoe, Durham. His father was a seagoing fireman, so was probably away at sea for the 1871 census. In 1881 they have moved to 156 Eldon Street, the same road, but a different address. For this census his father is at home (previously I assume he was at sea). Charles and his brother Frederick are now working as butchers.
In 1891 his parents are still at Eldon street, but both Charles and Frederick have left. Charles has moved to 20 Chichester Road, in Westoe where he was living with his wife Mary Ann Stewart Dunn and their first child Robert Norman Watson.
They had three children:
- Robert Norman Watson (born 14 January 1891)
- Florence Watson (~1893)
- Harley Watson (~1896)
In 1901 Charles, and his wife Mary A. turn up at 14 Belle Vue Crescent, South Shields, Durham, where they are living with all three of their children. Charles is still a butcher, but is now listed as employing people as well.
In 1911 he had moved to 10 Talbot Road, Tyne Dock, South Shields, where he was living with his wife Mary and their four children [[Robert Watson], Robert, Florence, Harley and Jane. He is 46 years old, and still employing people as a butcher.
