Hi I´m new to this Forum & am trying to help my 2nd Cousin with his MOULTON Family Tree. Theophilus MOULTON´s father Edward Lewis MOULTON married Elizabeth PRICE on 31 Dec 1862 St Mary's Church, St Briavels. Edward Lewis MOULTON was baptised 30 Jun 1844 Siloam Baptist Chapel.Edward´s parents being William MOULTON who had married Sarah WATKINS on or around July 1843, I think it was at Trelleck, but have not found any records.I think Sarah was about 19 years old when she married William. I think that she was baptised 21 Apr 1824 St Nicholas´s Church, Trelleck, her father would therefore be George WATKINS & her mother was Mary. I have a William MOULTON who is buried 31 Mar 1878 at St Dochoe's Church, Llandogo. William was aged 60 years old living at Botany Bay, Trelleck when he died.This date would be about right as his wife Mary is shown in the 1881 Census as "Living with daughters Prina & Annie & son Neamiah" & the 1891 Census as Living with daughter Perina (Prina) & son in law James PARRY & their son Willie, granddaughter Lousia Moulton (b. Abt. 1880 Monmouthshire) at Trelleck Road, Little Tintern.

My main problem is finding William Moulton´s birth/baptism & parents etc. Given his proposed death, he would have been born about 1818. There is a William being baptised 4 Oct 1818 in Trelleck by parents William & Sarah Moulton nee JONES? (married 26 Dec 1808 Trelleck by Banns).In the Census reports 1851, 1861 & 1871 he is shown as being born 1819 to 1820.

As the MOLTON / MOULTON´s seemed to move between Monmouthshire & Gloucestershire, with a change in spelling of surname has had me going in circles. Any help would be much appreciated.
