Buckinghamshire / Re: Sarah Pridlett? Major John Watson (1720-1799)

Yes, thank you very much for checking it 
Rickett does sound suspiciously like Prickett and I'm beginning to suspect that something along these lines has occurred. As Sarah Watson she is named on all the birth certificates and DNs as well as her husband's will, so I'm certain of her first name.

Buckinghamshire / Sarah Pridlett? Major John Watson (1720-1799)
« on: Sunday 17 June 18 04:10 BST (UK) »
John Watson was born in Dornton in 1720 and married a Sarah Pridlett (1749-1840). I was given the name Pridlett and it appears as Sarah's surname on various online trees. My problem is that this seems to be either a very unusual surname or incorrect. I can only find one reference on FindMyPast
I'm beginning to wonder whether this surname was a typographical error somewhere along the line. Sir James Watson was their son and they had other children including my ancestor Mary Anne Watson who was born in Chilton and died in Calcutta. They were a strong military family and associated with the British in India. Would appreciate any help. Thanks. Susan.

Hi. I'm looking for date this photograph of my great-grandfather.He is my brick wall in my genealogy research. All I know is that he was born in England in 1937 and was a naval cadet. He married a Hannah Walford in Port Elizabeth South Africa in the early 1860s and died there in 1907. Thank you!

Inverness / Re: Alexander and Clementina McDOUGALL
« on: Wednesday 21 February 18 16:29 GMT (UK) »
Was thrilled to find this thread as I have been researching Alexander and Clementins McDougall as well. Thank you for this information, it is a big help. Btw my grandmother was Gertrude Amy McDougall, daughter of William, a son of Daniel McDougall. The Sourh African descendants are well documented but Daniel’s origins were always a mystery to many in the family. He was supposed to have been shipwrecked at Kariegs river mouth.
