John WATKIN, born ~1800

[Jebbo]

I've been looking for a John Watkin, born in Newtown for ages.  His age is consistent in multiple censuses, as is the place of birth (Newtown).

I think I've finally pinned him down (thanks to the online records @ findmypast).  I've certainly got him down to a choice of two:

* John WATKIN, born 6 Jul 1800, Llandyssil, parents Rhees Watkin & Mary
* John WATKIN, born 3 Jun 1800, Trefeglwys, parents Thomas Watkin & Elizabeth.

I suspect the one I want is the son of Rhees (who appears in the 1841 census living in Newtown) but I'm wondering if anyone else is looking at WATKIN genealogy in the area?

I can't find much trace of the other John (father Thomas) . . . so I can't really rule him out.

Or if anyone has any ideas to the slippery b****r down?
