Hi, that's great ~ I think that with the PROBATE / WILL info in respect of JEREMIAH GODWIN born 1794, died 1862, probate 1864, some of the missing pieces have now fallen into place.

What I now believe I now have got is :-
Parents = Jeremiah Godwin, born 1794,died & buried St. Briavels 1862.
Sarah Godwin (nee Lewis), born Pontypool 1795,died St. Briavels 1863.

Their Children (all born St. Briavels) =
~ (my ancestor) JOHN GODWIN,born 1823.
~ Richard, born 1827, died & buried St. Briavels June 1860.
~ Jeremiah, born 1829,died (place unknown ?) & buried St. Briavels Dec 1860.

Reason I was previously having trouble was that although I knew from "Ancestry" Census 1841 & 1851 records that the above Jeremiah (senior)& Sarah had a son called Richard born 1827; and another son Jeremiah born 1829 (from an "Ancestry" Family Tree record) ~ I had not been able to place (my ancestor) JOHN GODWIN born 1823 with any parents.
Nw using the Burials info that the sons Richard & Jeremiah both died approx 2 years before their father Jeremiah, AND by virtue of probate info supplied states that JOHN GODWIN was the "Son and only next of kin" ~ I have at last been able to place John with some parents !

Many thanks.

ADDITINAL info if it is of interest to anyne looking at this "thread" :-
(i) I believe Jeremiah brn 1794 have 11 siblings in all ~ the one omitted from the above earlier "thread" is Grace born 1791, died 1855 (but baptised in 1804 at the same time as her brother Jeremiah).
(ii) The parents of the above 12 children, I believe were Richard Godwin 1746~1821, and Mary Godwin (nee Jones) 1755~1809.
