Unable to determine further information for this identity, including confirmed dates of existence, due to the common name, however the Centre for Indigenous Family History Studies 1966 document 'Certificates of Entitlement - Doomadgee' records a birth year of 1902 for a 'Johnny Watson'; unclear if it is the same identity but have included 'Johnny' in other forms of name in case.
