1851 census - 4 Watson families, Drum parish, Co Roscommon

Attached file is a transcription that was done in 1917 by Mrs. A.S. Wilkinson, Percy Place, Dublin at the request of Edward L. Adams, the US Consul. I hope you can see the attachment.

The purpose of this transcription was to determine the age of Mrs Bridget (nee WATSON) SMITH who resided in San Francisco, CA for 50 years in 1917 and she needed to authenticate her date of birth for pension. I am trying to figure out the information for the 2nd family - Margaret WATSON 25 yrs, head of family - then Larry, 42 yrs, father, winter 1842 - I wonder what is the meaning of "winter 1842" ? I suspect it means he died at 42 yrs in winter of 1842.

After I figure this out I will post it to my webpage
