Thomas Boswell Watson was the uncle of Alexander Skirving Watson who went to Hong Kong.
Alexander Scott Watson is the line of the familyfrom which I have descended.
You may notice several maternal surnames perpetuated as middle names into recent times.
I do not know who drew up this family tree, but it has the date of 1908 in the bottom left hand corner.
