Hi Patchem

I am told her father was Isiah Watkins and am told (but could be missinformation) he was a miner. thank you for your reply. she supposed to have a brother called Llewellyn (his middle name) and a sister Tilly ( a pet name i think or a short version of something) Lynn

I notice she dies early in life aged 55.....................do you have that information?

Hi Allan,
thank you for your reply, but i dont think its them, i am awaiting the marriage certs but thought i would try to find them, Mary Louisa had a sister called Tilly who married Harry Fisher who was a Councillor for Swansea Town and a brother who was Llewellyn, i dont know if any more children exsist.

Hi Alan
I think she died in 1941 after childbirth i am told, my aunty had to go and live with her older sister at the time. I tried to read the information on the 1891 census but its transcription is difficult to read and was wondering if anyone else might be able to read it better than i. Many thanks for your reply and appreciate the help given.

I think this is her with her husband in 1911 and both using middle names. notice 1901 he has initial D

Hi All,

I have started to try and find the parents of Ezekiah Watkins, and hope someone will be able to help:)

I have the birth certificate for Hezekiah:- born 17.2.1842 Llanfabon Merthyr tydfil, Mother Mary Watkins late Evans formerly Williams, Father Daniel Watkins Berth Llwyd, coal miner. Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Edit:- the only marriage i can find so far is A Daniel Watkins to Anne Williams , and i have had no luck with the birth of Daniel:( will keep looking.
Lynn

Still struggling to find Hezekiah's parents, its odd that no births are showing for Daniel Watkins c1822 there must be a few some where! off to look again.

Lynn

i think i have found the marriage for Daniel Watkins to Mary Evans 1840 2nd qtr Merthyr Tydfil, Am i right to send off for this certificate? Mary's name on the birth certificate is down as late Evans formerly Williams, so would she marry under the name of evans or Williams? any advice would be very much appreciated.

thank you:)

Lynn
