Hi

Arrival 17 August 1866 shows Annie an infant but cannot find what happened to her. Any ideas??
Thanks again Barbara

I believe I'm a descendant of Janet - but I'm just putting things together myself!
Janet married John Aird, their son John Watt Aird is my Great Grandfather.
Other than that I don't have much!

Hi
John Watt Aird is a second cousin x 2 removed- I have a lot of information about the family in Scotland before the grand parents Alexa Henderson and James Watt travelled to Australia in 1866. Just let me know if there is anything you want to know and you can perhaps help me with any information I may require about Australia.
Thanks Barbara

Hi there!
I'm a descendant of Janet Watt and I've been trying to find any information about James Watt and Alexa before they moved to Australia. Would you happen to know James Watt's parents or Alexa's parent's names?
Also if you have any photographs of our descendants would be greatly appreciated
Thank you,
Georgie

Hi Georgie
My husbands tree has Alexa and James Watt - I have a little information but could you let me know if Janet married John Aird so I know I have the right people if so Alexa is my husbands 3x Great Aunt.
I will then post some information for you
