Notes for Catharine Watson (probable)
Is this the right Catherine Watson?
Last name of Watson supported by one of the children named David Watson Purdon
In addition to the one born in Harewood there is a baptismal record in Swanland on 12/2/1775; f: Joespeh m:Elizabeth
Swanland is 20 miles from Siggelsthorne birthplace of the groom
Whixley (place of marriage) is 12 miles from Harewood.
Could the bride be from Harewood and that is the reason for the wedding in Whixley?
Could the bride be from Swanland? Makes it easier to pair with the groom but then the wedding location seems odd.
