Birth for Euphemia Campbell Watson 14 June  1865 Wemyss, Fife,Scotland. Parents William Watson and Margaret Eason. ( Buckhaven was part of Wemyss parish).

Possible birth for Margaret Watson showing on Scotland's People in Dundee in 1856.

There  is a marriage  for a William Watson and Margaret Eason 22 July 1854 Liff, Benvie and Invergowrie,Angus, Scotland.(Adjoins Dundee Parish).

Seems to be a death for Margaret Eason/Watson in Buckhaven in 1886 age 53.

Going back to Looby's post re the 1841 census and the likely remarriage of William Watson's mother there is this in 1881(LDS)

Temple (Largo)- same location as 1841

Margeret Watson or Rodger widow 85 born Largo Housekeeper
David Watson son unmarried 58 ship's carpenter born Largo
Margaret Rodger daur unm 40 Housekeeper born Largo

(Birth in Largo 2 Feb 1823 for David Watson- parents David Watson and Margaret  Thomson).

There is a death showing in Scotland's People in Largo in 1882 for Margaret Thomson/Watson age 86.
