Andrew, born 1847, was a master bricklayer and had his own company, "Watson and Sons." He also owned several tenement buildings in Dumbarton. He lived at 5 Levenford Terrace and attended the High Street Church. In about 1876 he married Catherine McKenzie of Inverness-shire. He died in 1931.

Douglas was my grandfather.
