John Watkins of Builth 1841 lookup please

[Belvoirboy]

I have a John Watkins who was a servant age 19 in the 1851 census. He later gives his birthplace as Builth and his father as Thomas. So I am looking for a Thomas Watkins with a 9 year old John in Builth in 1841. His first daughter is named Mary Ann which could possibly be his mother's name too. Any help appreciated. Jim

Thanks for the speedy reply, could you possibly see where they are in 1851 so I can see if John has left home by then. Thanks. Jim
