Very happy to send data by email but am not allowed to send PM messages yet since I have not sent the required number of messages. Can you send me a PM with your email address? There is, I am afraid, an assumption for Margaret Ouston since in the Gainford parish records on Family Search there are records for Anne Ouston born 26th November 1738, Eleanor born 1st March 1741 and Jane born 7th October 1750 but there is no christian name ( presumably illegible ) given for the Ouston born 4th October 1747. I have assumed this is Margaret but no proof. I have also found marriages for Anne and Jane Ouston.

I have a Watt family tree on Ancestry which I am happy for you to see. I have not published it widely since it is not my family!

I have been looking at the Watt family for a Hartlepool Watt friend
I cannot find where James Watt who married Margaret Ouston in 1770 came from.
However a Margaret Ouston was born in Gainford, just over the Yorkshire boarder in Durham on 4th October 1747.
She was one of four daughters of Antony Ouston and Hannah Brass who married in Gainford on 15th June 1738.
The line goes back through William Ouston born 1699 to John Ouston.
Several of the Watt family were Toll keepers  west of Darlington ( Staindrop, Greta Bridge and Croft ) before a move to the Hartlepool area.
