Hi Sue , no the other thread has not confirmed that the John Watterson who married Isabella Collister is the one who died on the Lily . There are heaps of John Wattersons in Rushen , we are not even sure which parents he has because of this . There are two major possibilites as far as his children go , and even census hasnt confirmed as the ages in the early census reports are not reliable . This one was started to snag anyone who has good knowledge of the "Lily"

Thanks
David
