Hi Lottie

Samuel Nelson Watson was my gg grandfather.
Great grandmother Matilda Jane Gardner nee Watson . my email address is p.mcmickan@bigpond.com. I have some information on Samuel Watson,s Irish connection and his siblings .

Several family trees have him as a convict but I do not believe that this is correct

Samuel Watson s Irish family appear to have been reasonably comfortable. It seems that Samuel Watson being the third son did not inherit any land . his brother William John Watson and James Cockran Watson both inherited land ( have more information on this). his sisters Rebecca and Matilda both were given family jewellery.

Samuel, Rebecca and Matilda Watson all migrated to Victoria. Rebecca was living in Penshurst Victoria when Samuel was the first police constable. I have travelled to Penshurst and met some of Rebecca s descendants and also met descendants of Matilda Watson s who lived in Ballarat.

happy to send you a copy of the information I have put together which includes some information on the Irish connection.


Cheers
Carolyn McMickan
