Hi safc

thats odd you have a David as father to Hezekiah, i have looked at the birth certificate and it looks like Daniel so this is now going to be a big puzzle to sort out! any idea what to do next? thank you for taking the time to help me.

Hi safc,

I have had a quick look for a marriage for a David Watkins to Mary Evans about 1840 give or take 8 years and nothing shows up, off to look for a marriage for her under her former name of Williams.

Edit... ah i see, so you think she married as her birth name? that might be worth getting the marriage certs for:)) the only thing that bothers me is the fact that his name is Daniel on the birth certificate.

Hi All

I am unsure of how to proceed now, what certs to order etc, any advice would be very much appreciated, Do i order the marriage certificate for David Watkins to Mary Williams or the certificate for Daniel Watkins to Mary Evans? On the birth certificate for the son Hezekiah, it has Daniel Watkins as father, and mother Mary Watkins late Evans formerly Williams. Can anyone help please?

Lynn.
If you have a birth cert for a child and the father is Daniel then send for Daniels marriage cert to Mary Evans because that is what you know.

Sometimes however especially on early registration the writing is difficult to read. The modern transcribers can get it wrong. I have a death cert for a baby which was registered as Mary on deaths. When I received the cert I found her name was Mercy but because of the unusual middle name ( also mistranscribed) I found a sibling of my gt grandfather that I didnt know about

Hi Quinsgran,

Thank you for your reply and advice, will do as you suggest and get the certificate for Daniel Watkins to Mary Evans.

Many thanks

Lynn
