Hi Listers,
I am hoping someone might have some local knowledge which will point me in
the right direction, please.
I am searching for information about Hannah WATKINS, possibly from
Llanfihangel Tory-Myrnyd , which I believe is near Chepstow.
Hannah was born in 1801, according to information from a family bible.
Hannah & family came to Australia in the 1840s.
Can listers tell me if there is any access to Parish Records or Bishops
Transcripts for that year in Llanfihangel Tory-Myrnyd, which might enable me
to find an accurate record of her birth, and also possibly, names of her
parents?
I have looked on Mike John's excellent site, but the parish records for that
year are not on the site. I noted that there were WATKINS in Tory-myrnyd
just before 1800, so there might be hope!
I am not sure just how common the name WATKINS was at the time.
If anyone has any ideas or information to help, I would be most grateful.
Many thanks
