The above two ladies are daughters of Alexander and Alice Watt.Alexander Watt farmed at Easter Ardross farm,and was innkeeper at the Railway/Station hotel and commercial hotel Allness in the 1880's -90's.He was tragically killed in an accident on Struie hill in May 1894 aged 45.His widow appears to have stayed on at Easter Ardross,with his eldest daughter,Margaret taking over the reigns at the Railway hotel.She was married here in 1903 to Donald Sutherland (Allness) and then seems to disappear.Another daughter,Ella Watt married Charles Howison (army from Elgin) again at the railway hotel,Allness,in 1917 and also seems to disappear.Their mother,Alice Watt (Connor) apparently latterly took over the running of the Railway hotel until shortly before her death(Teaninich distillery cottages) in 1924.
I have knowledge of all Alexander Watts 8 children except Margaret and Ella,and would really appreciate any history or information that anyone might have.(births and deaths have drawn a blank)
