One probable child born to them, registered in 1933 in Easingwold.

So it doesn't really look as if that's the right couple.

Do you know your grandmother's name?
A copy of your father's birth certificate should give you details.

This might be grandparents' marriage
Marriages Sep 1920
Watson John A ... Wilson ...Leyburn 9d 1843
Wilson Margaret T ... Watson ... Leyburn 9d 1843

As there are 2 possible births on the GRO index, other information is needed to track back on the correct family.
A copy of your grandparents' marriage certificate will hopefully name their fathers and their occupations, then using that information, we could hopefully find the correct family in 1911 census.

There is one born in Leeds 1902 and one in Cockermouth in 1903. Either of these?

Was your father born in Hampshire?

whereabouts please

Trying to find details of my fathers father. My father did say that you will never be able to find out such details. Only have his name to go by thats it.
Alfred Arthur Leslie Watson (father)/John Alexander Watson (grandfather)1902?
Many thanks in advance Susan. :-)
