Edward Watterson

In researching family of John Watterson who died in the Brig "Lily" disaster of 28 Dec. 1852 I found a number of Wattersons who also died in that incident. Trying to find out if Edward Watterson, Howe, fisherman from Port St. Mary was a brother to John Watterson, Howe, carpenter from Port St. Mary. Also ther is a William Watterson who also died in that same disaster. We don't have any information on the parents or siblings of John Watterson. His wife's name was Isabella Collister. They had six children Ellen (who married John Kermode and moved to America), Margaret, Anna ( who married John Cain) and died in 1942 IOM,John Joseph Sr.(who moved to America)William, and Fell.
