What I have
from IGI
Father Robert WATTS (no further particulars)
mother Lavinia (no further particulars)
children
Lavinia Ann Watts cx 5 Dec 1817 St Marys Lamberth
Robert Cundick Watts cx 17 Oct 1824 St Mary Lamberth
Eliza Ann Watts cx 28 Dec 1825 St John Lamberth

I note the 7 years between first and second child - (a little odd I think)however there could be many and varied reasons

I cannot find any Marriage for Robert Watts and Lavinia in the IGI or Free BDM
I cannot find them in Census for 1841-51-61-71-81

There is a Marriage for Lavinia Ann Watts in Kensington Sep 1850, but this would appear to be a little bit of a late marriage if it is Lavinia bn 1817

I have checked the IGI and Census returns to try and pick up a pairing of the Lavinia Ann who married in 1850 with the males listed in Free BDM for the same entry, without any luck. I had hoped that this might give me some lead back into the family.

Robert Cundick Watts married Many Gallop in 1852 at Newington and had at least three children.( have their birth details)

Can anyone offer
Well, you wouldn't find a marriage in FreeBMD - it only goes back to 1837 when civil registration started.

Have you tried the LDS catalogue (the IGI site) to see if the parish registers for St Mary Lambeth (no 'r') have been filmed ? If they have, you can order the films from your local FHS.

33 is not too late for a marriage - get the certificate and see.
