Obituary Elizabeth Watterson, dod Sept 12, 1936 Lower Mullan, Co. Tyrone
« on: Wednesday 28 April 21 23:57 BST (UK) »
Today, I found the death record for Elizabeth Watterson, nee Clarke, married, age 75, in Lower Mullan. That should mean that her husband Ignatius was still alive. In 1909, Ignatius emigrated to the USA and I didn't know if he ever returned. In 1930, I found a travel record for their daughter Mary who was to return to the USA but apparently Mary did not sail then. Her mother was given as Elizabeth Watterson of Ballinderry Bridge, Lower Mullan. When Ignatius travelled in 1909, he gave his person of contact as Mrs. Watterson of Ballinderry Bridge, Lowe Mullan. Same family.
When Elizabeth died, her son Benjamin was present.
Thanks for any help with an obituary or  whatever.

Wow, rosie17 and *Sandra*, you are fantastic. There is not a doubt in my mind that you have found the correct Mary Watterson in Brooklyn and her marriage, son, and deaths of herself, her husband, and son. Mary was actually born Mar 24, 1902 as I have her birth record in Ireland , not 1910, but there is no doubt this is Mary as it gives her parents' names as Ignatius Watterson and Elizabeth Clarke.
Now for Ignatius - this is very, very likely to be him in 1910 in Philadelphia, even though in 1909 he was supposedly headed for Illinois. Ignatius had been in Philadelphia 1891-1894 before he married Elizabeth in 1895. I have to wonder if there was a rule or at least a tendency for hospital workers in USA to say they were single, as did Ignatius and also Samuel George Buick.
Ignatius was born Nov 1, 1863 so his age in 1919 would be exactly 56. Must be him returning to Ireland. I tried to find this return trip to see the details but could not find it. Ignatius did not have a brother Samuel but there was a Samuel living in Pennsylvania  born 1876 Ireland  as well as Samuel's son Samuel born 1913 in Philadelphia. The elder Samuel was a first cousin once removed to Elizabeth Clarke, the wife of Ignatius. Was Samuel mentioned when Ignatius returned to Ireland in 1919? Love to see that.
Thank you so very much, you wonderful people.

Peggy if you just put Ignatius  Watterson birth year 1863
Departure Philadelphia 1919
You should find it

The reason I asked if he had a brother Samuel was because I seen his death in 1954 in Pennsylvania
