Angus (Forfarshire) / Hugh Watson of Keillor and Angus cattle fame
« on: Monday 23 June 14 08:52 BST (UK) »
For decades I have been trying to confirm/ascertain that Hugh Watson of Keillor had either an illegitimate son James - born around 1811 - or that he had a wife before Margaret (who burned all his papers) and that they had a son James.
This James was the founder of Flemington Estate near Melbourne and the owner of the first Keilor <sic> in Victoria. It has been impossible to find his birth.
Or, perhaps can someone help me with Hugh's father George Watson? Did he perhaps have a brother James?
I know the Watson family managed three farms including Keillor.
I would die happy if I could find details of James parents
