Hi I am looking for the following:

Relatives of John Watson residing in Melbourne, Australia around 1920. Related too Watson's originally from Robertson / Whiston area of Lanarkshire, Scotland and also Dumfriesshire, Scotland.

Watson family were owners of East Raffles Farm, and Midcross Leys Farm among others in Dumfrisshire.

Any help would be grateful.

Regards

Helen

Jodie it is a bit of a common name, do you have any idea of a middle name, or who his parents were..or a date of birth?

Thanks for your help.

I don't have a middlename but I think I have found out that John Watson was born in Dumfriesshire Scotland in January 1865.

Thanks
