Kenneth Jack Watts Foinquinos and his wife Joyce

This is Samuel-Henry Foinquinos' grandson. Samuel-Henry (born in 1863) was one of Leon and Sophia's sons, the others were Chas, George and Alfred who were cotton dealers, wine merchants and merchant commissioners and lived in the area of Liverpool and Southport. Samuel-Henry married Louise Pemberton Rayland, lived in Rugby and died in Leicester in 1923. He was a Leather and Hide merchant and also a lithographer. He is the father of Harold Jack Watts (1878-1921), Herbert Watts who died in Arras (1897- 1917) and Arthur Watts (1900-1923). He also had two daughters, Phyllis Mary (1893-1916) and Dorothy Elizabeth (1894-1919).


Kenneth Foinquinos was born in 1921. He is Harold Jack Watts and Bessie Althea Wright 's son. He also had a son, John Foinquinos, who changed his name to John Alkin when he started working as an actor in films and for the BBC TV series. I'll write more about John Alkin later. Kenneth died in 2003 and his wife Joyce Wyatt in 2004. I think he was the last one to use the name Foinquinos in England.
