Watson The Temple & Great Hillingdon

[Coningesby]

I am trying to discover if John Watson of Great Hillingdon is related to John Watson of St Benet Paul's Wharf London.

On a brief visit to London (I live in Yorkshire) I visited the London Metropolitan Archives. There I found a document mentioning the above two Johns in a legal document referring to Hillingdon.
I wondered if they were related, because it looked like the word 'cousins' was written on the
outside (?)

The Hillingdon John is referred to as, of the 'Temple & Great Hillingdon', so I think he was a lawyer.

The other John, of St Benet Paul's Wharf, was also a Lawyer and Notary Public. During the Cromwell Commonwealth, although he was a Royalist, he was appointed as Bluemantle at the Heralds College
of Arms.

Although I have a large Watson pedigree (mainly from Worcestershire) which includes Bluemantle John Watson of St Benet Paul's Wharf London, I cannot connect the other John Watson to the family?

This John, of the inner temple, is a peruke maker.  Is that the same man or yet another one?

Added…but perhaps that John Watson is too late?

Is this the document to which you refer?  1648.

Thanks for your reply mckha489,

                            Yes, I think the two document about Peruke maker are too late.
However, you are right about the other reference you give to 1680.

Ooops! 1648 not 1680! Sorry

There is a burials at the Temple church of a John Watson 1663, who may be the G.Hillingdon man ?
