Comment by William Douglas on Monday

Is this the same man?
Edward Albert 'Douglas' Watson was a portrait and landscape artist and lecturer. At 22, he won The Wynne Prize and in 1943 became Australia’s youngest official WW2 artist. In his career spanning less than three decades, Watson created hundreds of works that remain in the collections of major Australian institutions.

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
