Hello and welcome to Rootschat 

To see if  anything can be found for your Thomas Watson  please could you from his marriage certificate give us his father’s name & occupation did a family member/s witness the marriage?
Does it give Thomases age?

death entry
Thomas Watson age 46 (1891)
Date of Registration:   Oct-Nov-Dec 1937 Dublin South Volume: 2 Page:   310

On family search overseas military there are these two Thomases about the right age

Alexander Barracks Maymyo Burma
Thomas Watson age 20 (1891) Dromore
