Hi
Looking at the 1861 census, Edward Watts is a servant in the houshold of Lord William Faversham in East Barnet Herts. In the 1871 census he is a coachman in Chiselhurst Kent, also in a large household. Perhaps this explains why his son was born in Paris - the family he worked for were in France at the time.

I presume you have his baptism?

Edward Watts:  father Henry mother Sarah, baptised 5th December 1841 Rickmansworth.

I can't see Edward's family in the 1881 census, perhaps the family were abroad again. No sign in the 1891 either apart from a possible for Osbert Watts

Albert Watts birth abt 1871  Paris  boarder in Andover Hants
