Alexander was most likely a farmer.
William and Mary once lived in what was known as Murderhole Road now known as Windyhill Road.
Thanks to relatives in NZ there is quite a lot known around the Murderhole Road property.

Hi is anyone able to assist in seeking information regarding William Watson who was B1753C and was married to AnnTerrin. I believe he lived in Northern Ireland, maybe Londonderry. They had a son Alexander Watson B 1805 and Alexander had a son William Watson B1833 who was born in the vicinity of Artikelly in the Parish of Aghanloo County Londonderry Nthrn Ireland. William married Mary Toner (daughter of James Toner) Dec 1856. They had 11 Children and in 1874 as Asssisted Immigrants they emigrated to New Zealand. From this point on I have been able to trace most of the family data with the help of a living relative in NZ.

What we are missing is the link going backwards from William (born 1833) If he had any siblings, who his ancestors were.
Any help or information would be very welcome.

Many thanks
