Richard Watkin

[Jools64]

I am trying to find a birth/baptism for Richard Watkin born Llandissilio or Llanfihangel yng Nwynfa circa 1827.  Father's name was John Watkin a labourer according to his marriage certificate.  Also of his sister Jane Watkin born circa 1831

Hi trying to help out but need some information from you, Richard married when and to whom, how are you aware of a sister Jane b c 1831?

a birth/baptism for Richard Watkin born ... Llanfihangel yng Nwynfa circa 1827

Sorry, Nothing in 2008 Montgomeryshire Genealogical Society Transcription of Llanfihangel yng Nwynfa Baptisms 1813 - 1869 for Richard or Jane, Watkin or Watkins

Hi excuse possible ignorance, but having youth hostelled there, is Llandissilio not in Pembrokeshire?

Perhaps meaning Llandysilio in Montgomeryshire (now Powys) near Four Crosses on the Oswestry to Welshpool Road?

Thanks for that, will await response, as cannot locate any census post 1841 for a Richard Watkin/s born c 1827 in either of those locations?

Their is this Jane in 1841?

John Watkin 35
Anne 30
Jane 10
Cathrine 5
Residing at Typenycoynl, Llanfihangel, Montgomeryshire
Census ref HO107/1435/ 2/27 / 12

In answer to the question re marriage, Richard Watkin married at the Chapel of Hope in Worthen parish, Shropshire an Elizabeth Perkin.  Date - June 1st 1847.  They settled in the Bromlow area raising their family.
In answer to the question re sister Jane, I cannot be certain that this is accurate.   As per the last post on this, I too have seen the 1841 census for John Watkin, his wife Anne Davies etc living Llanfihangel.   John married Anne in Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant, Montgomeryshire 2 years earlier.   It is a strong possibility that this is indeed the correct John Watkin, however, I cannot be certain without further evidence of which the birth/baptism for Richard or Jane would be a real help.
As for Richard himself, again there is a census return in 1841 for "Richard Watkin, Boot Boy" on the High Street, Llanfyllin which I believe could be correct.
Many thanks for the feedback thus far.
