Deaths of William, Catherine and Edward Watkin, Neath
« on: Monday 12 January 15 14:38 GMT (UK) »
Hello

I have been looking at the burial records of Neath on familysearch.

I was wondering if someone could please help find any burial records for a William and Catherine Watkin in Neath.

They both married in 1792 in Neath and were alive by 1818, their child William was baptised in that year.

Also, below is a burial for an Edward Watkin, could someone please find out what age is given for the record?

my thanks

Simon

Hi Simon,
I just spotted that you were also interested in William & Catherine WATKIN. Same source reveals the following at St Thomas, Neath:-
12th June 1857, Catherine WATKINS, aged 60
3rd December 1842, William WATKINS, aged 76

thanks victor

I found a baptism of an ancestor a few days ago and I am trying to learn more about his parents.

There is a baptism for a William Watkin in Neath in 1818, aged 16.

His parents were William and Catherine, there is only one marriage in St Thomas Neath that would match. William Watkin and Catherine Reynold in 1792.

They had four children, William, born 1802, Catherine born 1794, Edward born 1795 and Martha born 1798.

Looking at the baptisms, there are two possibilities for their father William. One in 1767 and one in 1775. Both of them give the parents as Rees and Mary

thanks again
