Here is Rose in 1861

I'm pretty sure that Mrs Watson is Rose's aunt, elder sister of Rose's mother Ann Ransom, nee Cook.
I think this is probably the same girl in 1871 but now recorded as Mrs Watson's child, along with a "son" James. I don't think Mrs Watson gave birth to either child, but I reckon she brought them up.

John Watson died in Hull in 1878 and his widow Diana was recorded in Hull Holy Trinity in 1881. Both children had gone and she had a boarder living with her. She died in Hull in 1885.
Can anyone spot Rose "Watson" in 1881? From 1891 onwards it seems she reverted back to being Rose Ransom(e) and I've tracked her and her four illegitimate children from 1891 until Rose's death in 1947. She never married.
I can't get anywhere at all with James "Watson" - the only documentation I have for him is the 1871 census record, no baptism and no verified birth registration. Mrs Watson's birth name was Dinah Cook. Please don't waste your time on chasing her up as I already have quite a lot of information about her and her siblings. (If it helps, she married John Jefferson in 1840 and they had one child who did not reach adulthood. Mr Jefferson died and she married John Watson in 1857 - I haven't picked up on any children of the marriage.) Rose Ransom came from a dysfunctional family, lol, her mother had a difficult time and it seems her sister Dinah helped out.I have both the birth registration and baptism record for Rose Hannah Ransom(e)
James is a bit of an enigma for me - I do wonder if he was actually Rose's brother or some other member of the extended family,
All ideas welcome
