| Narrative |
They did marry in the church at Llanfihangel fechan. Thomas Watkins was able to sign his name on the certificate, but Margaret Price could not. The witnesses were William Price (who signed) and Ann Cattrick (who made a mark). Maybe William was Margaret's borther, about 7 years older than Margaret. Who was Ann? The certificate shows that Thomas Watkins's father was also called Thomas Watkins. |

Narrative
A Rachel Harres is boarding with them, aged 60, in 1901.
Narrative
Thomas Watkins signed his marriage certificate in 1872 but made a mark for the birth certificate of annie in 1873.
Weird.
On the birth certificate for Aneurin Edgar in 1883, T. Watkins signed.
Narrative
Margaret Wells tells me:
Glascwm means green valley - it is 3 miles West of Newchurch, Radnor.
Thomas lists New Church as birthplace in 1871.
Narrative
Both Glascwm and Newchurch are in the Presteigne registration district.

I can't find a credible Thomas Watkins in the 1861 or 1851 censuses on ancestry or fmp.
