Hi Donna
I've been looking at the Watterson family of Robert b circa 1809 Malew ( so maybe son of Henry Watterson and Elizabeth Fayle). I believe that he had 3 marriages:
1) 28 Jun 1832 Braddan to Elizabeth Preston
2) 9 Mar 1848 Braddan to Jane Clague
3) 27 Jun 1861 Braddan to Elizabeth Christian
Please would you see if there are MIs for these burials ?

burial of Elizabeth Watterson nee Preston ?
WATERSON, Elizabeth Bra 18 Jul 1847
***********************
burial of Jane Watterson nee Clague ?
WATERSON, Jane 59 Bra 19 Jul 1860
*******************************
burial of Elizabeth Watterson nee Christian ?
WATTERSON, Elizabeth 89 Bra 23 Mar 1904
************************
Robert died between the 1881 and 1891 censuses and I can't find a burial for him, so I'm hoping that he'll be with one of his wives. There's an 1887 will that could be his, and a 1904 one that I'm pretty sure will be Elizabeth's.

Also, are there any other Watterson graves nearby ? His son, Robert b 1840, and daughter in law, Ann nee Garley, are in DBC.
WATTERSON, Ann 60 Dbc 28 Jan 1910
WATTERSON, Robert 66 Dbc 4 Nov 1906
But I've lost track of his son, William b 1844 (there was an earlier William who was probably this one):
WATERSON, William 6 wks Bra 13 Nov 1836
and there was a Henry b 1842 who was probably this one:
WATERSON, Henry 8 Bra 28 Aug 1849
*********************
William b 1844 disappears after the 1861 census. Maybe there's an MI for him ? Or did he emigrate ? Both his brother and his father were stone masons.
