Hi Denise,
The sister of the 4 missing WATSONs was Mary Elizabeth who married George
REES in 1894. As far as I am aware they had 11 children:
John Edward
Mary Ellen
Hanora (Nora)
William
Mary (Mollie)
George
Elizabeth (Betty or Lizzie)
Francis Charles (Frank)
Catherine (Kitty)
Irene (Rene)
Daniel Desmond

I do not occupations for them or their children, so there may be a clergyman
in there somewhere. Does your Rev. match any of the above?

Hope we have a connection,

Rosalyn
