Hi all, Does anybody have details of the grandparents of Mark Watts born ca 1850 at Stockcross, nr Speen, Berks? I am trying to untangle the many Watts in the Speen area as my own family are descendants of William Watts born ca 1794 at Speen with possible (but not confirmed) parents Thomas and Mary Watts nee Deluce. What is the connection of the William Watts buried 16 July 1810 at Woodhay that Barbara indicated below?

There is nothing on the IGI, BVRI or online elsewhere to help with those Berkshire Watts families. > What is the connection of the William Watts buried 16 July 1810 at > Woodhay that Barbara indicated below?
