I have noticed that you have sent many interesting and helpful findings through [email protected] I have sent several e-mails to that address, but must be sending to the wrong place because I have not received any responses! Perhaps you could help me? James, or John, or Jack WATSON, a great-uncle or ggf of mine, living sometime between 1820 and 1930. The only info I have on this individual is gathered from stories heard by me in childhood, and concern the fact that he drowned one Sunday while fishing in the River Dee, KKB when he was about 30 yrs old . A ditty of that time refers to this incident, loosely paraphrased as follows: "Had he ere been in God's house, where he should have been, He'd a ne'er been drowned in the river of Dee" (or something like that!) His Brother, Nephew or Son, (my GF), was Henry Watson, married to Alice BARTLETT, moved to Bradford and Bingley/Cottingley, Yorkshire. That is the sum total of my knowledge of my father's side of the family. I don't know if my gmother, Alice Bartlett was from Kirkcudbright, but I would be interested if any info can be found on her. Hope you had a splendid holiday in Greece. Any Information would be gratefully received. Thanks, Michael, from Dallas
