Birth*Rosetta Garner was born in the fourth quarter of 1857 in Shoreditch, London, EnglandG.1 
Marriage*She married third Joseph Aarons, son of Barney Aaron and Phoebe Lee, in the third quarter of 1893 in Mile End, London, EnglandG.2 
She is recorded living alone as a widow in the 1911 census at 50 Jane St, Commercial Road E in St. George in London's East End. Her occupation was listed as "Odd assistant." Notes of Danielle Sanderson, however, state that she died 18 May 1909 in 9 Bow Road, and this apparently comes from a notice in the Jewish Chronicle. More research is needed.

Their daughter Amelia was born in the Transvaal of Africa, which today is part of South Africa, about 1899-1900. A descendant claims that the family had travelled there as part of the gold rush. The Second Boer War begain in October of 1899 so that may have been their reason for returning to England after Amelia's birth.

His entry in the April 1861 census appears to say he is 2 days old, although the letter that follows the 2 isn't clear as a 2. But if the census was taken in April and the birth index covers April through June, then it couldn't have said that he was 2 months old. The census was dated April 7, so he may have been born on the 4th or 5th.

The first two give her place of birth as Spitalfields, while the latter two say Whitechapel. There are two possible records for her in the birth indexes, one on from the third quarter of 1866 from Whitechapel and the other from the fourth quarter of 1865 from Lambeth. The Lambeth one more closely matches her census ages, while the Whitechapel one is better as to place.

  1. She was age 3 in the 1901 census and 13 in 1911. Her birth can't easily be found in the English births index. The only Marie Aarons there is from 1894 and that can't be right. There is a Mary Aaron born in Whitechapel in the first quarter of 1898 that could be the right person. The place of birth as Ratcliff is from the 1901 census, but her siblings who also had Ratcliff in the 1901 census had birth index records from Mile End.

The first is to Louis Hirshkowitz in Whitechapel in the second quarter of 1923 and the other is to Samuel Abrahams in London City in the first quarter of 1921. There are other Phoebe Aarons marriages but these two are the most likely.

There is also a death notice of her mother that reads (in part): "dearly beloved mother of Phoebe, Mrs. L. Hirsch and grandmother of Gerald and Dennis." Does this mean Phoebe WAS Mrs. L. Hirsch, or is Mrs. Hirsch another sister?

Burial*He was buried on 19 January 2012 in Wolvercote Cemetery in Oxford, EnglandG.2 
His obituary appeared in the 19 January 2012 Oxford Mail and read as follows:

Frank Watson, who defended the rights of Covered Market traders in Oxford for more than 25 years, has died aged 79. Most people around Oxford will remember him as the owner of the former Watsons jeans shop in the Covered Market. From the 1950s to the 1990s both town and gown bought their Levi’s at Watsons, usually encountering the ever-smiling Frank in the process. He sometimes wondered about the fashions people liked, especially the craze for “baggies” in the 1970s, but was of the philosophy that “the customer knows best”. He was often seen walking around the Covered Market chatting with fellow traders or indulging in his love of sweet things by stopping to eat something juicy from one of the fruit stalls in the days when the market was still dominated by food sellers. Frank was born in Hackney in London in 1932, but was evacuated to Oxford in 1940, a city he loved from the first, never leaving again. He lived first in Cowley, and recalled in later life his vivid memories of the stream of bicycles leaving the factory then dedicated to the war effort. But his favourite memory was of the war’s end, with the celebrations in Carfax and the street parties that followed after years of fear and uncertainty. Mr Watson spoke fondly of his old school Southfield and also of his life on Cumnor Hill where his parents moved shortly after the war. After two years’ National Service in the RAF, Mr Watson started work at what was then a small stall owned by his father Arnold selling hosiery in the Covered Market in the 1950s, before expanding the business and eventually owning the shops Bonnie and Flaggs in Broad Street. He was chairman of the Covered Market Traders’ Association for more than 25 years and believed in the need for cooperation between business and local government. He took great interest in Oxford and its happenings, which he followed religiously through the Oxford Mail, a paper he insisted on reading daily to his dying day. Above all, he was a family man, marrying his childhood sweetheart Joy Kosky, his partner in business as well as in life for over 50 years. He was a dedicated father to sons Alan and Rob and was devastated by Alan’s death from cancer in 2004 aged 46. Mr Watson was a stalwart of the Oxford Jewish Community, a community he witnessed changing over the years from one largely composed of fellow evacuees from the East End of London, like himself, to the cosmopolitan and international community of today. He died at home of prostate cancer after a long illness he fought with typical bravery. Mr Watson is survived by his wife Joy, his son Rob and his grandchildren Amelie and Alex. His funeral will be held today at 1pm at Wolvercote Cemetery.2
