Hi Everyone,
Can someone please help me find about the following people.
Information I have: 1851 census Cranbrook. Edward Watts 24 (dob c1827) relation to head Grandson, Head Samuel Parks 77 (dob c1774). No details of Edwards parents. His wife is Mary 24 (dob c1827) but again no details as to her maiden name or parents.
You have helped me in the past so I hope you can help me again.

Many Thanks
Gerry :)

This is possibly his marriage:-

Name: Edward Watts
Year of Registration: 1849
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Cranbrook
County: Kent, Sussex
Volume: 5
Page: 127

There are three Mary's on the page so you would need to buy the certificate to find Mary's maiden name.

It is either Mary Ann Breeds, Mary Sears or Seares, or Mary Durrant Winch.
