Introduction
This page contains a list of all the entries for the surname, maiden and family name WATSON that are held within the Gravestone Photographic Resource online database. It is quite likely that there are also entries available for alternative spellings of this name.

The WATSON name may also be found within either maiden or family names stored within the GPR.
If you click on a particular name or GPR reference number below you will see details of what information is held for that particular grave monument. If there is an image available then you will be able to order a free copy of it.
If you click on a particular church, parish or town name below then you will see details of all the grave monument images that are available for that particular location.
If there is a blank in the relationship column below then it means that this person is the first named individual on the grave monument.
If you are interested in ordering a number of different images, it may help if you list in grave order so that everyone mentioned on the same monument are listed together.
Please note that all ages and dates of birth in red have been calculated and are probably not on the monument.
You should treat the calculated dates of birth with caution as the ages given on monuments are often inaccurate.
The dates and ages on many monuments are also often hard to read.
It is therefore important to use the dates as guides as they may be incorrect.
The same person may appear many times in the above list.
This is because a person can easily be listed on many different monuments.
For instance, a person could be listed on their own grave as well as on the gravestone monuments of their children and their spouse.
Occasionally names will be duplicated because the monument has in error been photographed and indexed twice.
Where a relationship is shown as unknown, this usually means that parts of the monument are illegible and relationship cannot be read.
Where no relationship is given this means that this is normally the first name on the monument.
All the relationships on any particular monument relate to this first named individual.

Thank you
Thank you very much for access to the photo of Edgar Watson and his Wife Anne. Edgar is my Husband's 2nd Cousin 2x removed.
This is a great site, keep up the good work
So happy to have found headstone
As I have been searching for information on the Watson - Forrest families that are connected. I now have this after finding your site, and can verify all is accurate based on the headstone. I now know where everyone is buried and the dates are correct. As my grandfather George emigrated to Canada I was sure that this information could not be found, but so happy to complete my search, thank you so much

WATSON, SUTHERLAND, DOUGLAS
Many thanks for sending me the photo I requested, and so quickly too.
I haven't a clue how I have never managed to find your site before but now that I have I know I will be using it a lot, especially for Wick and other places in Scotland. The service you and the other volunteers provide will become a cornerstone for family history researchers.
There are other sites that also offer this service but yours is the most user friendly I have seen, everything is easy to find and also incredibly easy to order the images, well done and keep up the good work.
