[sirsimon]

Hello

My ancestor William Watkins, husband of Anne Abraham and father of William Watkins, was born in 1800 in Cadoxton Juxta Neath to John Watkin

When did William die?

my thanks

[Sam Swift]

William Watkins aged 37 of Tonna was  buried in St Catwg's Cadoxton Juxta-Neath on 18 Aug 1836.

This is not him, William is recorded as being alive in 1851, living in Neath with his wife Ann and two children William and Lucy, William the Younger being my great great great grandfather.

What census do you have him/them on?
Full Information to date helps to narrow down..also you can look yourself at http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl With what info you know

Yes I see him in 1851, but there is no sign of him or Ann in 1861, only William Jnr at the same address area.

The only William Watkins's in Neath who could fit (but whose age will not be indicated on the BMD index) are :

 Jun 1857 Neath    11a   269    

or

Dec 1860   Neath    11a   260

Thanks guys, I will check the death dates when I visit Swansea on Tuesday.

I did check, they are not on the 1861 census and the 1841 is not informative enough to be of much use

Would also check for Ann, there are only 2 one Ann Watkins, but another Ann Maria between the census reg in this area.

Good luck Cas

There's an Ann Watkins dying in 1852 in Neath
