Aha -- this one in 1911

WATSON, John Grandson Single M 14 1897 Coal Mine Labourer Above Ground Ashington Hirst Northumberland

matches one I'd actually had my eye on in 1901 - except that it does definitely say John *J*

Name: John J Watson
Age: 4
Estimated birth year: abt 1897
Relation: Son
Father's Name: Edward
Mother's Name: Mary A
Gender: Male
Where born: Ryton, Durham, England (which is in Gateshead dist)

Civil parish: Hirst


but - the "J" could have been an enumerator mistranscription ...

except - this is probably him:

Births Sep 1896
Watson John James Gateshead 10a 1006



The other one looks very good, here he is in 1901

Linda - a FreeBMD transcriber? and this selfless search as well? Well I'm glad I decided to give it a go! Even if to not much avail ...

Yes for my sins I transcribe for free BMD. Like to give a little back for help I have had. Who knows one day I might come across one of my own.

p.s Apparently I have done over 8,000 entries
