Wow! that would be correct George Watson was father to Henry Watson also because Uriah was a brother to Henry Watson. I wish I could locate Henry Watson birth records have some verification of his birth record and who his parents were to have it on paper nobody is for certain of his birth different folks have different idea's on the issue some folks have 1833, 1834, 1835, & 1836 which is why I have told family members Feb. 17, 1833-1836 was told the month and day are correct but, most believe he was born in 1836. Everybody has it different on their family tree's. do appreciate your assistance. Thank you. Debbie

What religion were the family? The most you might be able to find for pre-civil registration dates is church records but sometimes only mother's first name is listed in baptisms (and sometimes no mother listed at all).

Well what info I have says  Ireland, County Down, Corcreeny is where I have Henry Watson place of birth. I also know some of his kin have been placed at Waringstown, and Lurgan is all in Northern Ireland. Thanks Debbie

... 1911 name address from James CARSON. Another letter 1926 speaks of John Henry CARSON. Carson could be related but again not confirmed.

We also believe there is a stong likely case that Henry Watson also had more siblings we believe possibily a brother name David Watson and John Strain.

We do know Henry Watson had a nephew name David Watson. Sinton Watson? Not verified son to David Watson ...

Just posting the 1923 letter for the convenience of readers:

Also to note these two possibilities. Firstly, there was a marriage of a James Carson and Mary Ann Watson in Lurgan Registry Office on 2 June 1845 [Edited to correct: 1849], the address for both parties was 'Corcreany', James was the son of Samuel Carson, a farmer, while Mary Ann's father was given as George Watson, a weaver. Secondly, there was a marriage in Shankill Parish Church on 29 November 1862 of a David Watson of 'Tiersogue' to an Eliza Jane Haddock of 'Corcrany', David's father was given as George Watson, a weaver, Eliza Jane's as George Haddock, also a weaver.

If this Watson family traditionally attended Shankill Parish Church, the only records I can see online so far are from 1845, anything before that (eg. Henry's baptism or his parent's marriage) would require a visit to PRONI (their holdings include baptisms from 1681-1872, marriages from 1676-1845, and burials from 1675-1857 & 1866-1877).

That would fit with this family in 1901, note the son called Sinton, GRONI has the birth record registered in Lurgan district under the mother's maiden name Haddock:

I have heard different folks say there is a possibility of family linkage with the Carson & the Haddock family both kin some how. You can hear anything. I believe a Watson had married a Haddock but thought it was John Haddock daughter. There was also talk that a Watson married a Carson but, then again I don't know. The thing I am finding out is they seem to recycle names over and over. Debbie

There was also a marriage on 23 March 1905 of a Uriah Watson of Knocknashane to an Eliza Jane Hill of Tiersogue, Uriah's father was given as George Watson, a weaver, Eliza Jane's father was Joseph McKeown, a farmer - one of the witnesses was Meredith Osborne (son-in-law?).

You are right this would fit. The name John Haddock could be George Haddock father maybe. You are really good at what you do. This has been driving me crazy trying to find the Ireland answers. I got alot of info from the United States once Henry had imigrated but found to be more difficult in Ireland in obtaining the info I needed. Debbie

Sorry you asked what Religion and I thought you said Region. I misread it. I am not really sure but for Uriah Watson it has Church of Ireland what religion is that do you know?
