For Harold Ernest Watson & Elvy Jean Trompf

WATSON (nee Trompf)-On October 23. at The Haven, to Elvie and Harold (R.A.A.F.)-a son (Harold Trevor). (Both well.)

Birth notice naming the wife's maiden name Trompf and husband's given name Harold, RAAF service noted. Matches Elvy Jean Trompf #81862 (b.1918, daughter of Harold Egbert Trompf x Elsie Jane Mitchell, no spouse previously linked) and the previously-unlinked stub Harold Ernest Watson #81863, added in the same research batch immediately id-adjacent to her with no relations at all -- the only Watson candidate in the tree. No marriage record was found this session with a citable date (Ryerson indexes deaths/funerals only, not marriages), so the union type is left 'unknown' rather than asserted 'married' -- though a pre-existing note on family #32583 (citation #50601, same underlying WikiTree source) independently names this same couple with a marriage year of 1941, corroborating the identity though not itself a verbatim-quotable date.
