ID # 7395, (1888-)
| Father | George Leonard Watson (1855-1935) |
| Mother | Mary Elizabeth Husband (1856-1891) |
| Birth | Mary Ethel Watson was born on 5 June 1888 at Nassagaweya Twp., Halton Co., Ontario. |
| Note | Birth reg. 012717-88 Nassagaweya Twp., Halton Co. Mary Ethel Watson born 5th June, 1888. Parents George L. Watson, farmer, and Mary Elizabeth Husband. Physician Dr. Dryden. Reported by father, Nassagaweya. Previous birth registrations for the Watson children were recorded by township clerk J. Easterbrook. If the person reporting did so in person, he had them sign the page wherein the birth registration was entered. Since George, the father, did the reporting, evidently in person, he signed the page and so it's evident that George was literate. With the above registration, the new clerk was Colin Cameron. For at least a time, he recorded the title of the informant, as shown above, namely the father. Interestingly, when the information was received by mail, he recorded the Schedule letter. Elsewhere on the registration page wherein Mary's birth is recorded are four births 'reported by Schedule A'. This could have been filled in by a family members, a clergyman, or a physician. This information will not be of much use to a family researcher, but the more general genealogist may find it of some interest, perhaps even adding to the story. |
