Thread: Any help welcome

Do you know when he died? If it was after 1841 have you found him on the census? Chances are he was born near Gelligaer so you'd need to check the parish baptism registers to find his parents.

Hello Helen

Do not have access to records

He would have died after 1861 census not checked 1871 no access

he was on 1841 census for merthyr tydfil age 62 farmed 100/150 acres was called Tycennol Bargoed quite a large family of sons and daughters

there is another Watkins on next farm maybe brother??

Thanks for answer Christine

I can't see him in 1851,61 or 71. Why do you think he died after 1861?

Hi Helen

I have seen the 1851 The farm was then called Tycennol it came under Merthyr district

Also have seen on latter day site that edmund watkins born about 1792 of CwmBargoed.
