George Watts

[kelvin]

I am looking for info on George Watts.
On George his sons marriage cert it states that the fathers occupation is letter carrier in Newport Wales.
I have British Postal Appointment ref that he started 21/12/1852.
I can find no other info on him.
His son George was born in Newport and lived there all his life.
Any info on George senior would be great or any suggestions.
thanks

Do you know the name of George senior's wife?


Welcome and happy hunting

I have zero info on George senior apart from postal info and he is dead when his son marries in 1846.

Is that the son?
You say that George senior was dead by 1846.

Kelvin, could you please give us some more information? Who did George junior marry, and have you found them on any censuses?

I was trying to work out which Newport you are referring to, but.......


If it's Newport in Monmouthshire, I can't see any Watts marrying there in 1846.

if it's the one in Pembrokeshire, I can't see a marriage for a George Watts, just a Phoebe Watts.

I've not got anywhere with the census either

It's Monmouthshire, Merry:

Kelvin - I don't know if you've already ruled it out, but there's a lot of info on Watts

family Newport if you Google "George Watts Newport."
