Hi,
Not sure if we have the same family here - My Neil Watters (circa 1863 - no idea if where he was born) married Bethia McNeil in Lanarkshire, Scotland & later took the family to USA - arriving Ellis Island 1909 - ship - Columbia.
Is this any help to you?   :)

Have you found Neil Watters in any censs records (Scottish or American( to see what country is listed for place of birth? His marriage certificate will list names of both parents which should also help to research his family.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Ballyclog RC marriage records show marriage on 2 February 1890 between John Devlin of Ballinagown and Elizabeth Watters of Ballinagowan.
FamilySearch.org confirms registration of marriage in Dungannon Registration District which would indicate that the marriage possibly took place in Brackaville/Coalisland, rather than Stewartstown

No age given in the particular copy of Ballyclog records which I have. It's probably advisable to get a copy of the marriage certificate from GRONI - it may not have ages but it should have father's name and this may help to narrow a search for this John Devlin
