Ireland / Re: Trying to trace the Watson Family
« on: Monday 21 December 20 01:16 GMT (UK) »
Hi Gaffy,
Thank you for your reply. I have noted that a Benjamin A Watson was the father of Thomas Annesley Watson, so I guess that fits. I also had a Mary Ann Ainslie or Annesley as Thomas's mother. I had thought that the Annesley came from her Ainslie, but I think that your idea about Benjamin already having that as a family name is correct.
Do you have any further information on John Watson, brother of Thomas Annesley, please?
Regards,
MezOz

Hello, I am trying to find out more about the family that includes Thomas Annesley Watson 1823-1879, and his wife, Annie Halloran 1830-1899, who came to Australia on the Golden City sailing December 1862. Their children included Henry, Thomas, Annesley (or Ansley) and later Ringrose, as per deeiluka's post 16 August 2017 (I see that I am a bit late coming on board here).
If anyone can assist, my main points of interest are:
1) Whether this Thomas Annesley Watson was related to George Watson 1783-1835 who married Frances O'Sullivan and who was the son of Felthan Watson 1744-1790 and Anastasia Drew 1740-
both families seem to have used similar given names eg Ringrose Drew.
2) Whether Thomas Annesley Watson 1823-1879 was related to a John Watson 1818-1850 who married Sarah Bakewell Astley 1820-1896. They had a daughter, Rebecca Hannah Watson 1844-1912 (and I think John's widow and children emigrated to Australia).
I think John Watson resided in Lanackshire, Scotland. Thomas Annesley came from Limerick Ireland, but at least one family tree places him in Lanackshire in the 1850's.
I have many Irish and Scottish relatives including matches to the O'Brien and Watson family. I am trying to work out the connection, and which side is the one.
Thank you for any help. Best wishes to all.
