Cherilyn, that's most interesting information! It would make sense, him being a caterer, as my mother said he'd ended up opening up a small hotel in Australia and when he used to visit family in Carlisle he would brag about his dishes!

Wow, so... (sorry to be dim) is 1924 the year of marriage?

Off to Google maps for a look at the house now! Thanks so much! :)

Hey Fiona, no they married in 1911, and travelled to Australia in 1924 with their 3 children.

The first son was born in 1907 but I can't find his birth as Campbell. Not sure what happened to Jas b.1922

:)
enjoy!

Just occured to me that Annie must have only been about 16 when they married in 1911.

Seems unlikely that Albert WATSON b. 1907 was her son! Even Ambrose would have been quite young then. Could he actually be a brother??? Nothing matches in 1911 though, How odd.

Very odd! I've just spoken to my mother and Ambrose's siblings Margaret A, Richard, Robert, William, Jane, Elizabeth and Isabella all ring bells to her. However, on the 1911 census there is also a Thomas and Mary, which I need to check out. My mum doesn't recall anyone called Albert, but then that doesn't mean anything - she only knew that side of the family from the early '60s. Will investigate further!
