Seeking information on the William Watson and Isaac Bird family's of Halton and Peel Counties. I have quite a bit of information on the Bird family but hardley anything for the Watson's. I have Isaac Bird (Chinguacousy Township) married to Hannah Watson (Chinguacousy Township ) on 1/26/1859 . She was born in Weston. Her parents were William and Isabella Watson. Isaac's parents were Isaac and Hannah (Hodgson) Bird. Isaac Bird built "The Bird Cage" in Brampton. I am looking to find information on the William Watson family. Their children, brothers and sisters of Hannah, and where they lived. I have found some on the different census but not sure if I have the right one. Would appreciate any information on them. Thanks.

Hi, Neal, This may not be of much help, but a William Watson was a witness to my gg-grandparents' marriage in 1841: Nathaniel Hunter to Margret Hamilton, both of Toronto Twp. 15 April 1841, by banns. Rev. Porter (Presbyterian). Witnesses: Joseph McKeown and William Watson. (My Hunter family emigrated from Co. Monaghan, Ireland) William Watson, widowed, m. Elizabeth Gale 28 Jan 1822 at St. James Cathedral, Toronto. (Marriages at St. James Cathedral, Toronto, 1822 - Aug 1836,(Landmarks of Toronto, volume 3, p.395 ff, by John Ross Robertson)) William Watson d. 30 Mar 1850 and is buried in Brampton Cemetery with Eliz. (Brampton Cemetery transcriptions) I'd love to see if there's a connection between the Watson and Hunter families.
