My ggrandfather, Charles Henry Watts, was born in Bristol in about 1850 and came to the U.S. in about 1864.His mother was Mary Burnell, born in "East Somersetshire", his father was John Watts.Her father was James Burnell and her mother was Elizabeth Cain.
Charles Watts came to the U.S. along with his sister Annie.A Burnell aunt and uncle (I believe it was Edwin - I don't have my records with me) had come to the U.S. earlier and returned to Bristol for a visit.When they returned they brought the two teenagers. Most of the rest of the family came to the U.S. too. The oldest daughter of Mary Burnell and John Watts was married to a man named Hooper and remained in Bristol.
If any of this seems to possibly relate to you, please contact me and we can exchange more information.
