Lanarkshire / Watt roots
« on: Tuesday 18 December 07 16:20 GMT (UK)  »
Having trouble making connections re my Watt roots. My great grandparents where James Watt (born Wisahw 1868, died Newart Hill 1919) and his wife Christina W Watt.

James Watt above had siblings names Margaret, Isabella and William. Their parents (my great great grandparents) were Robert Watt (born 1835, died 1901 Wishaw) and Margaret Hill.

Robert above (1835-1901) had sister names Isabella Simpson Watt and their parenst were James Watt (1803 Shotts - 1869 Wishaw) and Isabella Simpson - my greatx3 grandparents.

James Watt above (1803-1869) had 2 sisters Janet and Eupehmia and their parents (my greatx4 grandparents) were Robert Watt (1770 - 1856 Lanark) and Agnes Dougald.

Robert above (1770-1856) had 2 brothers Alexander Watt and Reverend Hugh Watt - their parents wew James Watt and Euphemia Reid - (my greatx5 grandparents).

-- Rev Hugh Watt was minister at Old Monklands and is buried there in family tomb, and he also had a son Rev William Martin Watt who was minister at Kirk o Shotts and is burried there in family lair with a window memorial also.

Love to hear from any connections.....
