Re: Watterson/Kneale/Dale/Quayle

Hi Janice

I don't know whether you've got more than one version of your tree on Ancestry, but the version I'm looking at now has some missing records eg Mark Watterson's first marriage, which turns out to have been in Liverpool. I've copied some IGI and Ancestry records showing Jane Keggin as Kaighan and Kahghan, plus some tricky-to-find census records.

It might be a good idea to order this certificate before your trip so that you can find out the occupation of Jane Keggin's father, Edward Keggin, and also who the witnesses were.
