Hi Richard Thanks for replying to my new posting. My Gr Gr Gr Grandfather James Geggie(Gaggie etc.) married an Isabel Watt - 01 Dec., 1807 in Chirnside, Berwick, Sct.. Isabel was born 21 March, 1785 in Coldstream, Berwick to a John Watt & (no Mother's name listed). There were two other siblings listed - Mary, chr. 03 July, 1787 in Edron, Berwick, and Alexander, chr. 27 June, 1794. That's all the info that I have so far on my Watts. I will keep your info on file just in case I find any connection. Eleanor Geekie-Brennan Corunna, Ont., Canada "Richard B. Hubbard" wrote: > I am descended from ggfather John WATT of Inverurie.
