Hi there, William Gallacher wife Hannah is the sister of my Gt Grandfather William Waters (Watters/McWatters)
They came out after them I believe, I know that their granddaughter is married to a famous world runner in NZ (wont name him cos he is still alive) 

Do you have any information on Hannah's family?

A very old thread I missed seeing before now. Bringing it back to life on off chance it will trigger an email to DavidlBrown and that their email addy is still current (PM to them is not working - says inbox full, presumably it is just not activated as they only made 1 post on site). Anyhow, if it does and you are still researching Gallacher/Gallagher etc, it would be good to hear from you.

karee.bell, you have probably already long since discovered that Hannah Watters m to William took place in Scotland in 1910,
