from:Coleraine

(d.7th Dec 1917)

James Watton was killed at Cambrai towards the end of 1917, aged 44, not 45 as stated elsewhere. He had huge misfortune in his life. His mother Maryann died in the 1890s (aged 40). His wife, Eliza, gave birth to about four children, none of whom survived infancy, and then Eliza herself died, aged 25. James's brother John (from Killowen Street, Coleraine) also took part in the Great War and lived to tell the tale.
