You have put in an extraordinary claim in the James Watt junior article - that James Watt had a secret mistress in Belfast with 7 children, when the public record (eg the Dictionary of National Biography) shows no such relationship. Instead, there are marriage records for Andrew Watt to Margaret Redfern (sister of the well-known surgeon William Redfern, so an unexplained 7 children of hers without an apparent father would not have gone unnoticed) in 1810. Andrew was clearly Margaret's husband and father of her children (most of whom emigrated to New South Wales), not James. One of the children was called James Redfern Watt - maybe that is what has confused you. See https://redfern.s3.amazonaws.com/margaret-redfern.pdf Please remove your edit, or I will.
