My grandfather was named Edmund Watson born between 1876 - 1877 his sister was Clarissa Watson. I was told they came on a train together from Scotland. I don't know whether they were in a workhouse there or somewhere else. Someone took them out of the workhouse and put them in homes in Broadstairs, His oldest daughter was called Clarrisa Evelyn who I think was named after his sister. His sister went on to work on the Stage in London, so I have been told I know he didnot have a birth cetificate. On his marriage cetificate it is stated his father as William, as a Tailor. I have found him at an orphange at Willesden, Hendon aged 12 stating he was born in Sheffield. I have found a Clarrisa Evelyn Watson born 1st December 1878 married a Albert Haycock,her father was also William, but as a Clerk, on the 1911 census it states born Dundee Scotland. I contacted the Catholic Childrens Society (formed 1887) who informed me that they never had an orphange in Broadstairs but my Aunt assures me she went to Broadstairs with my grandfather to the home to visit.
