« on: Wednesday 16 March 22 20:30 GMT (UK) »
Looking for Daniel and Robert Watts born ca 1765 in Trowbridge or Colerne and possible son of one or other Jesse Watts born ca 1788 in Colerne.  Sorry, but my info is sketchy.

Were Daniel & Robert twins?  If not - which was b 1765

Where did you get their birthyears/birthplace/ and fathers name from?

1841 census has an 80yr old Daniel Watts with a 64yr old wife Rachael living in Corsley

Ages in 1841 were rounded down to the nearest 5yrs so he could have been 80-84yrs old giving a birth year in the late 1750's

80yr old Robert Watts wife Virtue but living in Potterne
