Hi! My third-great grandmother was Margaret Ellen Watson from Blantyre. In 1854 she and her husband, James Miller Watson (yes, she was both born and married a Watson!), immigrated to the US on the ship John M. Wood with a group of freshly converted Latter-Day Saints. From there they were part of the overland handcart journey from the east coast to Salt Lake City.
I have been unable to find reliable records of her in Scotland, though I believe her parents were Gaven "Guy" Watson and Margaret Maloy. Her husband was from Newarthill, and the group of LDS folks departed from Holytown.
Here is her FamilySearch profile: https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/details/PMG2-2L8
I'd really appreciate any help finding records of her in or near Blantyre.
