Some Wattersons were called "Nells" from Surby because they took the maiden name of mother which I take was Eleanor?? Know anything about that?
On Wattersons:
Margaret Watterson, (b. abt. 1765 marr. Nov. 13 1790 Kirk Rushen to Thomas Cubbon( b. Sept. 1765 Malew or Rushen).
Several children, including 3 boys who were struck by lightning and killed. There was an article or articles in the paper about it. My mother had a note saying they lived on the mother's farm in Surby? maybe Ballakilley or Ballakelley???? I saw a article about this in one of the fam. history books. Do you know anything further on this. Were Margaret Watterson's parents Wm. Watterson and Eleanor Crebbin?? U
