Hi and welcome to our new list administrator. I seek the parents of my gg grandfather Lt. William Cook Watt born in Essex 1786. He became a Lt. in the British Navy and fought as very young gunnery officer in the Battle of Trafalgar. He married Ann Billingay in 1823 and they had 2 daughters and 1 son. The son came to Australia as a married man and settled in 1856 wherein 9 children were born. I have researched all the descendants, but still struggling to establish if my real roots are Scottish or English. That is on the assumption that the name Watt originates from Scotland.
