Hello Lyn,
I am sorry to say that I did not research grandad Watkins any further. I am grateful for the information re the tree of life inscription.
I was told by Grandma Edith that grandad died in the air raids. Possibly near Snow Hill. Alf.C
ok alf i will look into it again to try and pin him down but it could be him...finding a burial or cremation with an age of death could help...edit..i see you already know of his burial so the best way of finding out how he died would be to buy his death cert
