Attached is a death notice for Elizabeth Watson.

Thank you to 'my volunteer' for all the information!

 I am copying it and digesting it and will have a few followup questions but wanted to express my appreciation for your help now.

Do you know if there is a way to find the actual Watson home/houses? From looking at the Census image on-line,

i haven't been able to figure out where the actual house would be/have been, i.e. their farms, so we can visit.

I've asked people in my Family Hisotry group but nobody knows how to locate an actual current address based on the old Census records. I would love to know how to do this for ALL my ancestors!

I'll be in touch, and thank you again for your efforts.

Hello Peggy

 

I have found a wedding photograph of Margaret Foy and Raymond Eardley.  Margaret was the daughter of Reverend Edward Allan Foy and Sarah Caroline Watson.

Veronica my great great grandfather was Thomas Stewart Watson rector of carrickmacross parish church. Can you provide with his parents. Thanks. Joshua McCready

 

P.S his mother was a prison governor somewhere as far as we know. 

Joshua McC.

I'll see if I have your 'great great grandfather Thomas Stewart Watson' in my extensive Watson line.

What were his birth and death dates and locations please? 

Do you know his parents and children's names?
