According to FreeBMD there is this Death entry....
Robert Brough Watson @ Sculcoates Jun 1879 age 86 yrs - c1791/3. Why isn't the death reg for 1877
and I think this could be his marriage FreeBMD...
Robert Brough WATSON to either Maria DAVENPORT or Anne JONES @ Headington, Oxfordshire. Jun Q 1855 would be aged 64 yrs, unless it was a remarriage in his new surname Watson
STRANGE thing, I cannot find him on census in either surname
This entry has something to do with Men at the Bar (Barristers etc).....BUT I CANNOT FIND THE ENTRY
......ceeded by the will of R. Brough- Watson, Esq., in 1879, a ... Swanland Manor House, near Brough ;
