I believe I'm a descendant of Janet - but I'm just putting things together myself!
Janet married John Aird, their son John Watt Aird is my Great Grandfather.
Other than that I don't have much!

Hi
John Watt Aird is a second cousin x 2 removed- I have a lot of information about the family in Scotland before the grand parents Alexa Henderson and James Watt travelled to Australia in 1866. Just let me know if there is anything you want to know and you can perhaps help me with any information I may require about Australia.

Thanks Barbara
