Sarah Watson GRAHAM

  General Notes:

I was wanting to find a document linking Joseph Graham's second wife, Harrietta Watson to her father Major General James Watson and in the process stumbled across the fact that there was a daughter from this marriage who isn't on your website.

She's Sarah Watson Graham and I imagine that her mother died while giving birth to her - which also probably explains why her baptism doesn't appear to be recorded.

She's named in her maternal grandfather's Will which was originally written in 1837. (I obtained a copy of James Watson's Will through the LDS intranet yesterday (the LDS have digitised their collection of English Probate records from 1858-1925). I've not yet transcribed the two images which are each about 2½mb in size - do you want a copy?

She married George Henry Watts in 1858 in Wendover (which is where her father died) and according to the 1871 census had at least 7 children.
