Hello is there anyone out there with the time and the 1871 census to look for a John Watts (baker and flour dealer) born Exhall c 1818 and Honor Watts born Walsall c 1813. In 1881 they are at 126 Villa Road Handsworth. In 1861 they have a daughter Jane and 6 sons in Handsworth. I am interested in Charles born c 1853
Thank you

Did you find out anything more on the Watts family? Hannah Watts (daughter of John and Honour) is my great great Grandma so I'd be interested in any information you found.
-
Yes,
I eventually worked out that Charles Watts died in 1915 near Ripon, calling himself Charles Harrison Watts. I do have some other information about his siblings, very happy to share it with you.

I have
Hannah b 1838 married Richard Bray d 1911. Had 17 children!!
Jane b 1840 d 1921. Didn't marry, left estate to Richard Watts, son of George
John Thomas b 1843 d 1895
George b 1844 d 1887
Joseph b 1846 d 1887
James b 1848 d 1902
Edward b 1849 married to Patience Barton 1876
Elizabeth Sarah b 1851 d 1855
Charles b 1853 married Catherine Wheatley 1881 Newcastle d 1915 Bishop Monkton, Ripon
Henry b 1856 d 1919 married to Harriet Hammarton
I have a copy of John Watts' b 1816 will somewhere, I could have a look for it. He left his money to his unmarried daughter, Jane. Apart from Charles, the rest of the siblings seem to have stayed in the Birmingham area.
Did you ever get anywhere with finding traveller links to Honor Watts nee Cooper? All I have on her is her birth in Walsall in 1813. I've got John Watts' parents as Thomas Watts married to Sarah Hunt in 1808 and coming from Exhall.
Please correct and add to any of this.
