There is an online article at the link below. It mentions an Earl Watson, who was a Councillor (for Çity I assume) - one section says he had run for Mayor in 1966 - but lost
http://flinflonheritageproject.com/wp-content/wppa-depot/pdf...and another website:
http://images.uwinnipeg.ca/action.cfm?CollectionName=Flin%20...has some photos, including one of an Earl Watson which says he served as secretary-treasurer of City of Flin Flon1968-1983 - but I have not yet figured out how you get to actually view the photo
another site:
http://manitobia.ca/resources/books/local_histories/031.pdfhas a lot of photos of various happenings in Flin Flon - I went to the years from about 1960 onward to see if Earl was mentioned, and I notice a few Evans folks mentioned - a George, a Doug
There is a 1967 photo with an Earl Watson on page153, (not too clear)and a Dick Evans is in same photo
page 174 also has a photo of an Earl Watson
page 187 has an Earl Watson in photo as part of a barbershop quartet (good, clear photo)
page 208- has a nice photo of the same Earl Watson and now I think I can say he is the right fellow as it is a retirement photo taken 1983 and in the photo with him is Noreen Watson (another good, clear photo)
I see in her obit that she was called Noreen, not Edna so maybe she preferred that name?
Since she died in 2006 and was a widow , Earl would have died before that but I cannot find an obit. Seems odd as he was a member of the City Council for some years.
There is an Earl Watson in 1921 census in Pembina, Lisgar, Manitoba
he is age 3 and family consists of
Alfred 36, born England
Kate, 30 born Scotland
Charley age 9 born Manitoba
Alfred age 6 born Manitoba
Earl age 3, born Manitoba
The Manitoba archives has births for Charles (born 1912) and John Alfred (born 1915) - Charles showing mother as Katie Robinson, (no father's name listed) and John Alfred showing father as Alfred Watson born England and mother as Katie Robinson born Scotland
Its actually pretty common for those records to show only the mother's name. Earl was born to late to be included in the database as it only goes back to births more than 100 years ago.
It has marriage for Alfred Watson and Katie Robinson June 29, 1911.
I don't know for sure that this is the right family for your Earl, but it is the only one I could find with an Earl born about the right time, or what seems about right? There was one other born about 1915 but he moved with his family to B.C.
I'm trying to see if I can find obits for Alfred, Katie or others since I could not find one for Earl, but no luck yet. I will post if I find something for you.
