We have communicated about the Mary WATKINS you mentioned many years ago and at the time I was unable to make any connection with her. Though only a few days ago Slowhands I belive has found the 1813 Upton Bishop baptism of my 3rd great-grandfather John WATKINS and his parents being James (1783) and Sarah.

It appears that the parents of James were John (1737) and Alice. The parents of John being George WATKINS (1709) and Elizabeth MEEK who would be the people you mention in your posting.

Having got this new information a few days ago I stared to look in my colection of notes and I have a family tree sent to me from by Frank C Watkins (now deceased) of Pontymister, Gwent. Frank was descended from George WATKINS and Elizabeth MEEK. Franks family tree is very detailed and lists many people.

He has the children of George WATKINS and Elizabeth MEEK.
George
James
Mary (1742)
Phillip
Richard
John

Mary married Stephn GEARSLEY 22 May 1762 but no further information on them from then on.
