Bernard Watters

[Rosieb62]

Any info please on Bernard Watters, born around 1810, son of Denis Watters, (schoolmaster) and Agnes Murphy, and spouse of Mary Riley daughter of Patrick Riley, born also around 1810.  Oral family history tells of them meeting on the bridge between Blacklion, (Cavan) and Belcoo, (Fermanagh). Their first child was born in ayrshire in Scotland in 1839 but don't know if they got married in Ireland before coming to Scotland.

Thanks

...they could be duplicates

Thanks Shane for the info.

Unfortunately I have been unable to locate Bernard Waters on the Meath site, probably I am looking in the wrong place, I have all his family, (my family) on the Scottish census including his death cert. in Renfrewshire in Scotland age 80 years. I would just love to find out where he was born and where he married my great gran Helen Riley. Hope I inherited their genes!

Thanks again for taking the time.
