Jean:
There's a listing in the 1881 British census on the LDS site for a Thomas
Watkins, wife Mary, son John. The age for son John is correct. I'll try to
do a copy/paste. Hopefully, you will be able to read it.

My grandfather John Thomas Watkins married Mary Elizabeth
Grisenthwaite on June
6th 1900 at St Catherines in Manchester UK, he died June 21st 1938 aged 67 and
his fathers name was Thomas Watkins. Please can anyone help me get further back.
I think he came from Wales but am not certain. Jean Brandwood
