Hi Howard, Thanks for your JENKINS information. I am just beginning on my JENKINS line. I have found that Elizabeth Ann JENKINS born c. 1859 in London, England married Thomas WATERS in Birmingham, England in 1877. They were my great grandparents. Elizabeth's father was listed on the marriage certificate as David JENKINS. I have found a David JENKINS in the 1881 census of Birmingham born Bath, Somerset c. 1833 with wife Laura also born in Bath and children younger than Elizabeth - two born in London and 4 born in Birmingham. I believe this is my family but will try to get Elizabeth's birth certificate to confirm. It would be great if we could connect these two Bath JENKINS families. I will watch for your names as I look for mine. Will put this on the JENKINS list in case others are looking for these folks.
