Daniel Glyn Watkins b. 1845 England was the Colonial Chaplain of Western Australia. There is a memorial to him in the north trancept of St Georges Cathedral in St Georges Tce, Perth Western Australia. He was also Chaplain at Greenough WA 1870-1875, chaplain at Fremantle 1875-1905, Archdeacon of Perth 1889-1907, Administrator of diocese of Perth during Bishops absence in 1891. There is some correspondence "inward and outward correspondence and newspaper cuttings concerning person and parish matters, letters appointment, commission as Administrator to Diocese, etc; also some family letters to Mrs Watkins" in the State Archives (State Library of WA, Alexander Building, Perth). See the www.liswa.wa.gov.au website. I am not related, but doing research for someone related to the Habgoods, through the Manning family.
