I am in conact with Charles Dorian a descendant
of Thrifts second wife in the states. It's a small world. Charles Dorian's daughter-in-law is my 4th cousin!
Charles Dorian is my third cousin, so I suppose that means you and I are related (however remotely) through marriage.
It is indeed a small world ! !

Hi Jim,
I moved my family outside Vancouver in 1975.
before that we lived 5 years in Herts. and two years before that ion Lanarkshire. I grew up in the Borders around Kelso Galashiels. Wife is frim Gordon Berwickshire.
Thrift Watt died 17 Mar 1919 Balnillo, Dun, Forfar, Scotland
he is buried in Dun churchyard grave has no memorial.
His death was registered by a farm worker or neighbour
even although his daughter Isabella lived at 80 Baltic St Montrose a
mere seven or eight miles away, Balnillo is right on the Forfar Montorse branch line at that time. her youngest child Davis Collie would have been 16 years old at that time.
Agnes Ann Dorian is buried in Cowie (Died 25 Aug 1903).
I have a photo of the Memorial inscription She and son Alexander
are buried there.
I talked to Charles Dorian about ten days ago just
shooting the breeze. I met Chatles about two years ago
as a result of an enquiry I had a friend put in the
Aberdeen Family History Quarterly regarding Thrift.
Charles is about 2.5 hour car ride away from Delta down south.
What do you make of the issues over Thrifts mums name Chisholm/Chessit?

I found Thrift Watt in my tree when I was researching my second cousins side of the family. On both marriage entries fro Thrift to Agnes Dorian & Isabella Lees his mother's maiden name is Chisholm. On his death entry this infomation has been left out.

Seems Thrift was a notorious chap!!.........I believe he is my great great grandfather..........I have copy of my great grandfathers mariage certificate showing Thrift Watt as father. Marriage was in 1874 when my great grandfather George Watt was 21, so assume he was born in 1853...........when Thrift was married to Barbara , maiden name Davidson........does this mean he was married 3 times and sired even more children?
George was a farm worker in the county of Kincardine area and my grandfather, Andrew Watt was born in 1874, and became a police sergeant in Arbroath.........he had 4 sons and 3 daughters.........and my father was the last chief engineer on the original Queen Mary....sadly all have passed away.
I have only recently started researching this on "scotlandspeople.com" and found the entry on roots.com most interesting

Welcome to Rootschat Andyqm
Thrift WATT is my gg grandfather.
I had a look at OPR's between 1831
and 1854 for WATT/ DAVIDSON and found 12
records, most in the North East. but no
Thrift or Barbara's.
Between the 1851 Census for FORDYCE when
Thrift was single and 1855 when he married Isabella LEES
in Aberdeen a lot could happen.
Do you have a Surname for George WATT's wife in 1874 marriage?
Like Rowena I am fascinated by the possibilities
please keep us in touch with your research on this Guy Thrift
Regards
Angus
