  • My gg grandfather William WATSON married Catherine MacNamara in Northam 16th Sep 1858. Nine of their eleven children raised families of their own in Northam and surrounding towns. William Watson died in Northam in 1898; his wife Catherine Watson died in Northam in 1896. They are buried together in Northam Cemetery. See http://watsongenealogy.tribalpages.com/
