Hi Debi
I was interested to see your posting re Watts. My fater (Edward George Fitzgerald) was a 'Watts Boy' he entered the school from Barnardo's on the 23 March 1910 (aged 10) and joined the Royal Navy 0n 8 March 1915 aboard HMS WRYNECK D21.- Dr. Barnardo's very kindly located his Admittion Documents and sent me copies which have a wealth of family information, but regretable no infomation on his time at Watts. as the school was overseen by the Admiralty I,m in the process of trying to obtain his Naval records which i hope may have some information on his Watts time in addition to his Naval time. (I'v been waiting a year so far) sorry I can't be of much help to you, if you ever come up with any info i'd be greatfull for a heads up.

good luck Chris - By the way I'm north of you in Canada
