William WATKINS, Much Birch, Hereford (General)

Much Birch is not far from the Forest so I've copied this message from the Watkins FHS Web Site to see if anyone may have connections.

Does anybody have any connection with our William Watkins?

William Watkins was born about 1815 in Much Birch, Herefordshire. His parents were William and Ann, with brothers Thomas and Daniel. He received a life sentence in 1842 and was sent to Australia that year. He eventually married Rosanna Forster in Hobart, Tasmania in 1852.

I sincerely hope someone can help, as at the moment we are at a brick wall in researching back from William.

Hi there
I am researching a Thomas Watkins
He married an Isabella Gunter. It seems as if his Mam was Anne. I wonder if they are connected. Thomas was born 1811, in Much Birch or Dewchurch
Thanks
