One member of my family was Robert Watson, a Lighthouse Keeper, born in New Lanark about 1830. He married Margaret Bertram in 1852 at Biggar and they were stationed at Ardnamurchan (1857), Hynish (1858-60) and Little Ross (1864) where their children were born. On 22 Feb 1864, he registered the birth of his 5th child Janet Watson born at Little Ross Lighthouse and it seems he died before the 1871 census as his wife was recorded as "Widow" then. I searched unsuccessfully for Robert Watson's death between 1864 and 1871 on the scotlandspeople website. I believe that the Scottish Lighthouse records are kept in the National Archives of Scotland, Edinburgh, and if someone is visiting the Archives I would be most grateful if they looked for Robert Watson's records to determine the date and place of his death.
