There were Presbyterian Watts in Macosquin district in 1901 and 1911 census. Some married in Crossgar Presbyterian Church (between 1849-possibly 1885) and some baptised in Macosquin Presbyterian Church (between 1827-1904) from the records I have. Also baptisms in Killaig Presbyterian Church.

Hi agahdowney
Many thanks for that.....is there any chance you could find out Laurences fathers name from any marriage cert....I am trying to see if my Lawrence was the same one married to these two ladies.....if so he was very unlucky to loose both of them so soon after marrying them.....My Lawrence's father was also called Lawrence Nash.
Thankyou
Regards argyle25cassidy

One of the great benefits of an unusual name
