Found 1861 census for Charles... showing him working as a blacksmith in..Monmouthshire!.  Once I get the birth certificate i'll know for sure, but theres a high possibility of William P being an illegitimate child? He could of hidden the fact from Ruth.

Interesting.B

Hi all
.   

.. heres the twist however, the only relevant record I can find for a Charles Simkins, is the 1871 England Census.  Where there is a William Breenan put down as a "nurse child". 

If you look at the image of this census the name looks more like "Brennan"

Got the birth certificate for W.Brenin F.William Brenin M Catherine Brenin formerly something like ulladden alladden? Would it be ok to attach a photo of her surname as i'm finding it hard to decipher. William Brenin was born in the Union Workhouse Abergavenny.
