Hi, I have a business card of Bill's with several photographs. In a presentation folder of him at 1 month, 1 day, it states; born Aug 26/26. A photograph with writing is a studio photo of a sergeant soldier in uniform with a seated lady and small child. On the back it states; 'The Jaques, Dec 1916. Another of a soldier with bandolier (looks like an Artillery cap badge) states 331743 D Mmmwatt (difficult to read) 3274 6th Ave W Vancouver. If there are any Buckley researchers on Rootschat I could forward them on.

The guy with the service number 331743 - is David Brand Watt born 12/10/1881 Muiravonside, Linlithgow, Scotland
These are the links for the attestation papers but they aren't loading properly for me today though - would like to know the address they were at in 1915-1917

Janet Watt 37
James Watt 14 Maggie Watt 12 William Watt 10

George Watt 2 months.
David Brand Watt Snr born 11 August 1849 to James Watt and Jane Brand passed away 5 March 1936 - Polmont, Stirlingshire, Scotland So this would be David Brand Watt I - the son born 1881 was David Brand Watt II - the son David B Watt born 1920 (shown on Canadian Census) would be David Brand Watt III (passed away in 1997) - possible he had a son David Brand Watt IV born in 1955 ;)

George Cuthill WATT
West Vancouver, British Columbia
Grant of a Crest and Badge
January 25, 1991
Vol. II, p. 72
The Arms are shown in the link below - These Canadian arms are based on a Scottish grant of 1987 to one of Mr. Watt’s first cousins, David Brand Watt III. They feature an oak tree on a green mount, a symbol long associated in Scottish heraldry with people having the surname Watt. In the chief, the book between the wheat sheaves represents Mr. Watt’s grandfather, David Brand Watt I, a schoolmaster, who was the son and grandson of James and John Watt, bakers in Dunfermline, Fife. The border differences these arms from those of David Brand Watt III.

Hi Sandra, You must just love doing family history.... and someone somewhere will appreciate your endeavours. Hope they make contact soon. KimH

Half the fun is in the chase ;D If we can put as much information out as possible, then its amazing how many times a relative googles a name just for fun and is amazed at what they find ;)
Discovered a number of ancestry trees just showing David Brand Watt I (1849 - 1936) one shows a photograph of him, so I might just send a tentative message to see how interested they are in this line of the family. ???
