James Laurence Watts
James Laurence Watts (1849–1925) was a sculptor in Queensland, Australia. He was one of the pioneer sculptors in Australia and his works appear in many Queensland public buildings and places.
==Early life==
James Laurence Watts (1849-1925) was born in the town of Bedminister, Somerset, England to John and Betsey (née Dowdney) Watts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NLSZ-LM9 )〕 Bedminister being today a district of Bristol. James is the third eldest in a family of 4 sons. The family moved to Weston-Super-Mare on the Somerset coast about 1855. Here John found work as a fisherman.
It is not known what inspired James to be a sculptor but his elder brother is a mason and this may have been the inspiration. It is believed that James received his early art training at the South Kensington School of Arts, London during the period of 1870s. He then married Mary Louisa Lloyd on 15 January 1880 at Pembroke, St Mary, Pembrokeshire, Wales.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KCB2-7GC )〕
On the 31st November 1884 he and his wife and family of one daughter and two sons arrive in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia aboard the ship ‘Roma’.〔http://www.archives.qld.gov.au/Researchers/ImmigrationIndexes/Documents/Roma_1884_Jul_QSA_Item_18481.pdf〕 James Watts’ family were listed as ‘Bounty’ passengers, as was the majority of passengers on ship. The meaning of ‘Bounty ‘ is a form of assisted passage by the Queensland Government at that time to provide industry in Queensland with skilled labourers and tradesmen.
