Waters/Watters & Brogan family members in Glasgow area..

[AnneMT]

I am researching the above names, among others, and would be interested in hearing from anyone with the same interest.

The Waters/Watters family lived in various parts of Lanarkshire, but mainly in Glasgow, in particular Parkhead. The Brogan family also lived in Glasgow area, but one branch lived in Motherwell. I have over 60 folk in Watters side and about 50 on Brogan side.

Hope to hear from anyone who may be related.

Hi Bob,
Henry is not a name normally used in our branch of Watters, which, like our branch of Brogans originate from Ireland around mid 1800s. The most common names used in our family are Thomas and Peter.

I have details of other non-related members of Watters family. If I come across any info for your family, I will be in touch.

Sorry Heather, doesn't look like there is a connection. The oldest member in my Waters line was born abt 1834 in Ireland. As yet, I have no info for his siblings.

John Watters in my tree, I have identified and contacted his family.
The two elder Thomas Watters are also accounted for. Family members born after 1906, I am still in process of checking, so cannot comment.

As yet I am not aware of any of your family details among the info I have collected over the years.

Good luck with your research.
