Familysearch shows he was Thomas Laird Watson b.20/7/1867 Falkirk, illegitimate son of Mary Watson.

Mary Watson 24 married William Simpson 19 7/7/1870 Falkirk - her parents are given as Hugh Watson, Nailer, and Elizabeth nee Drummond - they married 27/7/1827 Larbert, Stirlingshire.

I can't see Mary's own baptism (bc.1846) but those of some of her siblings are on familysearch. 
Her parents Hugh Watson and Elizabeth Drummond married 29/7/1827 Larbert, Stirlingshire.

Census shows Hugh bc.1803 Edinburgh and Elizabeth bc.1805 Larbert.

Thank you very much for this information which has helped my research. Did think Thomas was the illegitimate son of Mary.
