Hi Jacky I think its fairly unlikely unfortunately. William Watson would have been born in 1823 (not sure where) Ellen Farrell (b1827 in Kerry) did have a sister Mary (my 3x gt) Mary married in Tassie and then came on the NZ with her family in 1860. As far as I know Ellen married William Watson . I have found them having children in Oatlands (nr Hobart ) and Ellen died in I think 1879. I will keep you on file just in case.
