Death of Eliza Martha Watterson, nee Martin, 1902, Irwin, Bonneville Co., Idaho

[*Sandra*]

I think probably Leonard remarried to Rachel after the death of Eliza Martha Watterson.
There was an interesting 1881 census 64, Stevenson St. Glasgow Lanarkshire.

That 1881 census is very interesting. Says Leonard and William born Scotland which idea I discarded when I saw the 1861 census when they lived with Leonard Sr. and Rachel. But maybe I should look into that. Maybe Leonard and Eliza lived in Scotland for a while. Leonard and William's births are not at Woods Chapel in Ireland. Maybe even Eliza's death is in Scotland. Food for thought.

PS There is a James Watterson who married Matilda Booth and their daughter Sarah Ann went to New York and their daughter Isabella Dotson died in Los Angeles.

Of course - James and Matilda Booth

Another version - https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/K2FP-VG4/jane-watterson-1844-1908

When Jane Watterson was born on 8 November 1844, in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, her father, John Watterson, was 28 and her mother, Martha Martin, was 42. She married Hugh Caldwell Martin Sr. on 18 June 1863, in Motherwell, Lanarkshire, Scotland, United Kingdom. They were the parents of at least 4 sons and 6 daughters. She lived in Larkhall, Lanarkshire, Scotland, United Kingdom in 1871 and Evanston, Uinta, Wyoming, United States in 1880. She died on 27 December 1908, in Swan Valley, Bonneville, Idaho, United States, at the age of 64, and was buried in Swan Valley, Bonneville, Idaho, United States.

Well, I'm glad you straightened that one out. I did have John Watterson, born abt 1816, to Joseph Watterson and Mary Woods. Leonard Watterson born Aug 21, 1812 who married Eliza Martha Martin is a brother to John and I believe Martha is a sister to Eliza Martha - all in the family. I also had that Martha was born 1802 so 14 years older than John which bears out with Jane's birth in 1844.
It seems that somewhere along the way, Jane's parents were wrongly named.

[Peggy13]

Wait a minute. John Watterson and Martha didn't marry until 1848 so how could Jane born 1844 belong to them? When I can get into Scotland's People, I will look at Jane's marriage which will give her parents' names.

[*Sandra*]

There are a few anomalies about this family ?  Asking if anyone can see the marriage on Scotlands People here ?  More questions than answers ? Maybe the marriage was in Ireland ?
Check out this link, Gadget has been very helpful adding information.

Jane's birth was recorded on the 1880 as 1846 so even that could be varying.

Could Jane (1844) be the last born daughter of Leonard Watterson and Eliza Martha Martin.
Eliza Martha perhaps died shortly after that. ?

I have found Henry and Lucinda in 1880. I put in Henry, Ireland, no age, residence New York, wife Lucinda. They were found under Watison and have children Lizzie who would be Elizabeth, Mary who would be Mamie and a son transcribed as Lundy age 4. Also a brother Andrew Gallagher age 49. Since Henry is Watterson and Lucinda is Ellis, how can there be a brother Gallagher? Maybe brother-in-law.
Henry does have a sister Mary Ann that I have no further information on other than her birth abt 1837.

This name is coming up on that Magherafelt marriage that Gadget found on the Lanark board - Jane Gallagher and Hugh Martin - 3 August 1863 - withness's Andrew Gallagher and Thomas Gallagher ?
Wonder if that is significant ?
