Hi
Sadly I've not found anything else about David Watson. As far as I know he died unmarried and without issue, but who knows? His brothers' and sister's families are so well documented that it seems unlikely that David had a spouse or issue not known to others in the family. David grew up in Keady, Armagh, spent his early adult years in Kimberley, South Africa, and then moved to north London where he was a witness at my grandparents' wedding in 1922, but my mother (their daughter) who was born in 1924 has no memory of her great uncle David at all. Is it possible that he became some sort of black sheep round about 1923-24, and moved to Paris never to contact his family again? If you think there's any possible connection with your lost relative we should perhaps share what info we have. Many thanks.
