William Jenkins buried 1821 (General)

I have a William Jenkins in my tree, husband to Elizabeth Doward, married in 1764 at Newland.

The burial record of William in 1821 indicates that he was born 1733. None of the baptism records in our transcriptions match this date.

I believe my William came to Clearwell from Melingriffith (Whitchurch) Glamorganshire.

There is evidence that iron ore was being transported from Clearwell to Melingriffith, Joseph Vaughan baptised in Newland abt 1706 can be found running a tin plate factory in Melingriffith about 1730.

I believe my William was born in the Whitchurch area about 1733 S/O William Jenkins leesee of the Grist Mill at Sunnybank Melingriffith.

Can anyone suggest why William may have come to Clearwell and how I may confirm my theory.

Regards

Tony Jenkins
