I'm trying to find out what I can about my Great-Grandfather, Thrift Watt, who was a saddler in Stonehaven.
He was married twice, his first wife being Isabella Lees, born about 1835, married Thrift on 17-8-1855 and died on 26-8-1867.
I think that they had a daughter, Isabella, born on 29-4-1860, she in turn had an illigitimate son, George Watt, born on 14-12-1877. He was killed at Gallipoli on 28-6-1915. On the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website, his mother is given as Isabella Beattie. I think that she must have married a (?) Beattie after George was born.
Anybody know if this is correct, or any way of finding out?
My Grandmother was the eldest child of Thrift's second marriage, and I've got most of this bit of the family sorted out.
Cheers
Jim
