Henry Watkins

Peter Griffith (grandson of William Henry Watkins) advises us that William Henry Watkins, Henry Watkins and Charles Watkins were brothers and all served in the Victorian Navy.

 

Henry was born in Ballan, Victoria. Henry had signed on to Cerberus on the 27th July 1900, and was discharged on the 31st May 1901,

 

More details on this person can be found in the Victorian Navy Certificates of Service This is a very large pdf file of 119 mb and takes 13 minutes to download with a 1.5 mbps internet connection.

 


* 1853 is given as the commencement date for the Victorian Navy as this is the year that Commander Lockyer (RN) went to Britain to superintend the building of HMCS Victoria.
Although the Victorian Navy ended in 1901 the career of Cerbeus etc continued. In 1910 the new ships started arriving & manning levels increased.

Information & photographs of men who served in the Victorian Naval Forces is eagerly sought. Please contact the webmaster.
