Any info on Charles Frederick Watts. He was born 1877, Byton, Nr.Leominster, Herefordshire. Moved to Canada early decades of the 20th century. I think he died 1960/62, Nokomis, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I am a member of this site only so any info/help would be very much appreciated - death, obituary, census, web sites. Anything really so that I can show my Nan something about her father before it's too late.

Carol, the 1911 Canadian census has a Charles Watts, age 33, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. His birthdate is given as Sept. 1887 but that doesn't add up and when you look at the original it says Sept. 1877. Birthplace is England and year of immigration 1903. He's unmarried and living alone. Margaret
