Seems strange but Anna does sound similar to Emma. Depends on the accent?

It could just be a transcription problem from deciphering the information onto the index.   I feel more confident about her birth and death details now, so possibly Sarah is the child of Nicholas Jnr.  I am sure this sounds familiar from my research last year and why I started looking into Euphemia Fraser. I think the Canadian shared DNA matches had Ross and Cromarty, Scotland ancestry.  I wish that I knew the definitive answer, but I am still stumped on how we connect.

Sarra and I communicated a lot offline and discovered the person that she was researching for had a connection to the Bonnitcha's through the Bell line.

I have recently been looking into it again, and I think the people that my family has shared DNA matches with, in Tasmania and Canada, must have the nearest common ancestors of:
 
John Watson and Margaret Fraser married in July 1795 in the parish of Avoch in Ross-shire, Scotland.
John per 1851 Census born abt 1767 Avoch
Margaret of Kirkhill parish, Inverness-shire at the time of the marriage. No death found and not on Census.

I wish I knew how it connected through to us, but I think the above couple are likely to be the parents of Ann Watson who married Donald Fraser.
