I cannot decipher the birthplace given for my Watkins ancestors on 1851 Census England, Much Marcle. HO107/1975, Folio 424, P30. The family are mistranscrided as WHATHINS although the original image looks like WHATKINS. Birthplace for Thos Whatkins has been transcribed as Radnorshire, Lambert and the image seems to back this up. Please can anyone suggest where this might be?

Radnorshire was definitely a county according to the Chapman county codes.......haven't got a clue where it was tough. Might be worth a Google

Genuki gives the following: PARISHES IN THE RADNORSHIRE HUNDREDS (Radnorshire was a county in mid-Wales on the English border) - possibles are Llanbedr etc?
