?????

First Name FRANCOIS J
Last Name WATKINS
Birth Year 1922
Gender M
Mother's Maiden Name REVELL
Year 1922
Country England
County Hampshire
Event Quarter 1
District PORTSMOUTH
Volume 2B Page 690

The mother's maiden name was REVELL not Watkins.

If Jesse's married name was Watkins, even if her husband was dead, he was normally presumed to be the father. Strange but true!

ADDED - did you mean that Jessie didn't know the name of her father?

I am seeking information regarding my uncle Francois John Watkins who born in Portsmouth in February 1922. His mother was Jessie Watkins,
father unknown.

Any information would be gratefully received!
