Good morning all , I am searching for the father of John WATSON who was born in Halifax 1831..Married Mary DEARDEN 1852 (in Halifax ) .Mary was born in Northowram around 1832 and had six or seven children to John , one of wich was my Grandfather ..William Andrew WATSON born 1871 Mount Egerton , Victoria ,Australia. I believe John Watson's father's name was William , he appears on the Marriage cert of John and Mary (Parish Church Halifax )January 12th 1852 ,occupation ? Cudwanner or something ,hard to read the entry. John and Mary Watson immigrated to Australia in 1858 on the ship "Young America" and there are no William Watson's on the passenger lists so I assume if William WATSON was still alive in 1858 then he could still be in Halifax or thereabouts , sorry about all the assumptions...of particular interest is William WATSON'S wife. Can any of you fine folks be of assistance ? Cheers..Rodney Watson
