Charles Watson was born in Sweden in 1835, although he had British Citizenship. His father was Isaac Watson.


He married Jane Johnson on the 31st January 1864 at the Parish Church of St. Hilda in South Shields, Durham.
They had at least three children: [[Charles J. Watson]] (December 1864), Frederick J. Watson (~1867) and Alfred W. Watson (~1870).
In [[Watson Census#1881_EldonSt|1881]] and [[Watson Census#1891_EldonSt|1891]] he was at home for the censuses at 156 Eldon Street, Westoe, South Shields, Durham, England. His occupation was Fireman (seagoing) which I assume to mean he ran the fires on the ship (but still could mean either putting out fires, or firing guns).
In 1880 a 44 year old Charles Watson is listed in the US census with a Swedish birthplace, however his marital status is given as single, and he worked in a saw mill, which is contrary to the facts that he was married and a mariner .
By [[Watson Census#1901_MarshallWallisRoad|1901]] his children had moved away, and so Charles is living with [[Jane Johnson|Jane]] at 74-76 Marshall Wallis Road, South Shields, along with a servant called Margaret Walker. There is another family of Watson's, headed by George Watson, living closeby at number [[Watson Census#1901_MarshallWallisRd|82 Marshall Wallis road]].
By [[Watson Census#1911_HeadsNook|1911]] Charles and [[Jane Johnson|Jane]] have moved to Heads Hook, near Carlisle, in Cumberland (now Cumbria). They are living in a small two room house with a boarder. Charles is listed as a Home Missioner (a member of the Baptist Church).  Strangely they also list not having any children, but I think this is a mistake.

Charles Watson was born in Sweden in 1835, although he had British Citizenship. His father was Isaac Watson.

He married Jane Johnson on the 31st January 1864 at the Parish Church of St. Hilda in South Shields, Durham.

They had at least three children: Charles J. Watson (December 1864), Frederick J. Watson (~1867) and Alfred W. Watson (~1870).

In 1881 and 1891 he was at home for the censuses at 156 Eldon Street, Westoe, South Shields, Durham, England. His occupation was Fireman (seagoing) which I assume to mean he ran the fires on the ship (but still could mean either putting out fires, or firing guns).

In 1880 a 44 year old Charles Watson is listed in the US census with a Swedish birthplace, however his marital status is given as single, and he worked in a saw mill, which is contrary to the facts that he was married and a mariner .

By 1901 his children had moved away, and so Charles is living with Jane at 74-76 Marshall Wallis Road, South Shields, along with a servant called Margaret Walker. There is another family of Watson's, headed by George Watson, living closeby at number 82 Marshall Wallis road.

By 1911 Charles and Jane have moved to Heads Hook, near Carlisle, in Cumberland (now Cumbria). They are living in a small two room house with a boarder. Charles is listed as a Home Missioner (a member of the Baptist Church). Strangely they also list not having any children, but I think this is a mistake.
