1848/Harry Watkins/../../../Post Office Directory

My interest is in the Watkins family involvement with entomology. Cornelius's son William founded Watkins & Doncaster, naturalists, and Cornelius became curator at Surrey House Museum (set up to display the specimens collected by wealthy tea merchant F. J. Horniman). *
