Here are the following with no name:
ZZ Watkins Age = 3 (could be months or years) in Los Angeles 4/10/1922

Here are the only births I found:
Last_Name First_Name Middle_Name B_yr B_mo B_dy Mothers_Last_Name Sex
County_of_Birth idno
WATKINS 1919 12 23 KOCH FEMALE LOS
ANGELES 0
WATKINS MELVIN P 1919 01 01 WILSON MALE LOS ANGELES 0
WATKINS THOMAS W 1919 08 17 KINKEL MALE LOS ANGELES 0

I did not find a death for a Thomas or a Melvin Watkins in Los Angeles
around1922. I did find other deaths, but the years did not match.

I can add to mylist for a death certificate transcription, but it might take
awhile.
