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). *
