Hello Linda,

Please excuse my ignorance, I do not know where the Bann Valley is, but I have
a John WATT who married Elizabeth ORNEILL (ORNEAL, ARNEIL). Family stories
say they were from Scotland, but their children were born in Belfast beginning
around the mid 1860's. May be a little late for you and not exactly the same
place, so I'm not sure we will connect. Just thought I'd let you know about
this WATT family. He was supposedly descended from James WATT, the inventor
and scientist.
