Hi Reg and All,
I have a Watson that married one of my Catley's that came from that area.
Who is your Watson?
Cheers
Liz

Hi Tim & listers
I'm Reg and my wife is Jennifer nee Livermore. The hand-written
"Comberwell
Green" is recorded on the index card held by the Mortlock
Library,
Adelaide
Sth Aus., which is available on m/fiche at other locations that I
have
sighted it - e.g. SAG in Sydney for example.
We have a longish association with the Catley "Desk" and are known to
Mick.
Just to make some of you jealous, I and my wife's researching
cousin, have
sighted the Catley bible, given to Hannah on her marriage to Watson - it
has
been handed down, and treasured, through the Watson's.
Regards
Reg for the Bonneys
