Thanks for reminding me of my original question. You're right, it seems less and less likely that Ann Watkins was born to Edward Watkins and Anne Pewtner in 1820. Since my earlier posts, I've become more convinced that she was in fact the daughter of John Watkins and Mary Vaughan, bp. 16 Jul 1817, which would make her 19 at the time of her marriage to Thomas Wilce at the end of 1836. I found this baptism in the parish records here on FOD:

Not quite 9 months earlier, there is a parish record of the marriage of John Watkins to Mary Vaughan:

Mary Court Vaughan was the base daughter of Esther Vaughan, bp. 10 Dec 1799 according to a record here on FOD. John Watkins was the son of John Watkins and Margaret Walden (m. 31 Dec 1789), bp. 22 Dec 1793, also according to a parish record here.

Does this seem right?
