Title: Watkin family Llanfihangel
Post by: cuddlybunny28 on Sunday 10 May 20 12:17 BST (UK)

Hi everyone

It's been some time since I asked about this branch of my family (5 years) I lost all my info and had to start again :(  I am looking for Parents of Thomas Watkin/s  born abt 1849 in Llanfylin I believe his father was Evan Watkin/s  I am completely confused with what I am finding so thought maybe a pair of fresh eyes could help? Many thanks in advance.

Hi

I think this is the family in the 1951 census on Family Search.

I think that Thomas's mother's maiden name was Jones - GRO index.
