Most likely Edward Watterson is a fisherman (born Rushen) in 1881 (married) and 1871 (unmarried).
In 1881 there is a married Eleanor Watterson at Erystain? Bally Moor in Arbory. She is aged 28, was born in Arbory, and is a fisherman's wife with two children, both born in Arbory, William E. 6 and Henry 2.
In 1861 in Rushen (all born in Rushen):
Thomas Watterson 46 Ship Carpenter
Catherine wife 41
Thomas 12
Catherine 10

based on 1901, when I cannot trace Eleanor, that would be Robena E. M. Watterson
