Hi,

Good to hear from you aswell.

The dates you have for Bridget's other children all seem to be correct. Margaret the youngest was born 1915 and there was a daughter Annie who sadly died in 1903 at the age of 5 weeks.

Bridget , was the 5th eldest of Thrift Watt's 12 children  (4 with 1st wife Isabella Lees and 8 with Agnes Dorian) :


Robert Watt 1855
Margaret Watt 1858 - 1871
Isobella Watt 1860 - 1945
George Watt 1864

Bridget Watt 1870 - 1951
Alexander Watt 1871
John Watt 1873
Annie Watt 1875
Agnes Watt 1876
Elspeth Watt 1879
Elizabeth Watt 1880
Mary Watt 1883

On the 1901 Census it shows Agnes, listed as granddaughter, living with her grandparents Thrift and Agnes at 15 King Street , Stonehaven, Dunnottar, Kincardineshire. But is also shows Bridget with her husband Munro and 3 children, Munro, Andrew and Mary also listed as living at 15 King street.
Was it a coincidence tha  Agnes left for Canada in 1919 the year that her grandfather died?
Did Agnes ever return to Scotland to visit ?

I've attached a photo of Bridget, and I have others of your grandmother's half brothers and sisters if your'e interested.

All the best

Hi There,

You mention that Agnes was the eldest daughter of Bridget. This may confirm a rumour that my wife, the granddaughter of James Gove (bn 1908) heard  that Bridget may have had a child before she met Munro, and who was living in Canada. Apparently this was strongly denied by her grandfather, but  the truth seems to have come to light.

If you need any more info, let me know and I'll try and help.

All the best

Hello Verona,

Just noticed you're interested in the SOUTHGATES from Kirby, Essex.

On my wife's family, Sarah Ann Southgate (bn 1832) was the daughter of John and Hannah Southgate .

Sarah married George MARSHALL of Thorpe.

Hannah ????  was born about 1799 and from Nacton, Suffolk. I believe she died 1884 qrt 3 4a 276 age 91.

I  have yet to discover John and Hannah's marriage.
