info from Lesley Watson lotus296@bigpond.com

My grandfather, Arthur Watson, was of Anglo-Indian descent, born and raised in Pallavaram, Madras. He left India as a child in 1885, when his father left the army and returned to the UK. A cousin (another Kirk descendant) has traced the family history back to 1790 in India, via the female lines of descent. The women married English & Scottish soldiers, but I would imagine that the male descendants would have married into the Anglo-Indian community. If possible I would like to make contact with other descendants.

info from Alison Harris  imlacanard@yahoo.com
I am searching, with very little to go on, for information on my grandparents, Alexander (Sandy) & Anne (Nan) Watson.  He went out to Assam from Scotland prior to WWI & started in tea.  They had 4 children, Alastair, Collin, Erica & Sheila - all born between 1910's-1920's.  They moved to South Africa in the late 40's early 50's?.  Betjan, Tinsukia & Makum Junction is all my father can remember from my mother (Erica, d. 1978) whom he met & married there in 1947.
