Lucy Watkins and John Parker
« on: Wednesday 19 November 14 21:01 GMT (UK) »
Evening

Lucy Watkins, born in 1828 in Neath to William and Ann Watkins married John Parker in 1853

Lucy can be found on the 1841, 1851 and 1861 censuses, though after 1853, despite being married, there is no sign of John nor children. After 1861 census, I cannot find her and the death records or marriages I have checked on free bmd are not compatible.

Any help in finding out where she is post 1861 or finding any children will be appreciated

Apologies if I have asked this before

my thanks

I do not have the marriage certificate so I do not know his occupation and age unfortunately.

There are some trees on ancestry that record his birth year as 1826, but I do not know if such information is accurate

Not an uncommon surname and without more info about him it makes searching difficult.

Any possibility they emigrated?

Possibly, but I couldn't find anything on family search

I will get the certificate soon
