My great grandparents were John Watkins (b. 1856) and Jane (b.1858) who farmed at Careg-y-big, near Llanerfyl in 1881, and at Gweumyddylision, near Llanlugan until the time of Jane's death in 1890. Johns parents, Evan and Anne, also farmed at Dol-y-fardyn. near Llanlugan in the 1891 Census.
In the 1901 and 1911 Censuses, John was living at Tynyglyn Cottage, Llanfair. He died in 1921. Their eldest daughter Catherine (b.1881) (later called Kate) was my grandmother and she had siblings Evan (b.1883) John (b.1885) David (b.1887) and Annie (b.1890). If anyone reading this is a member of this family or knows anything about them, I would love to hear from them as I have reached a complete block concernng this side of my family tree.
I am also interested to find out how Catherine came to live in the Broxton, near Chester area, prior to her first marriage, and the Whitchurch, Shropshire area prior to her second marriage to my grand-father,William Lloyd. They farmed at Tybroughton, near Whitchurch for most of their married life.
I am also anxious to find out where John and Jane, and Evan and Anne are buried.
