Thank you for finding that, however I cannot find this group on the census records I am using ( ancestry.co.uk ). Do you have a folio reference ?

Clara was buried at Woolaston Parish Church, and although she has no gravestone I was able to pay my respects during my recent visit, as my mother could recall where Clara had been buried.
I have quite a lot of info on the related Thorn family.

My great-grandfather Allan / Allen born 1880 was the only child ( as far as I can tell ) of George Watkins born 1847, ( and I believe ) Emma Jones born 1849. Georges father, was I believe, Charles Watkins born 1811 and his mother was Mary Bell born 1811. Charles and Mary had another son William born 1849 who married an Eliza Dorrington. I believe Charles father may also have been a Charles.

I have some sketchy family information that my great-grandfather may have remarried after the death of my great-grandmother in the 1930s. I do not know of his place or time of death.

I have found the parish records absolutely invaluable and I so appreciate the time taken by the researchers and transcribers to do their fantastic work.
I recently travelled down to the FoD to trawl through all the churchyards, but unfortunately most of my family it seems did not have the financial resources to afford markers of any type, so I am so grateful to those who have transcribed the church records as I live quite a distance away !

I would very much like to hear from anyone who may be of the same family line.
I do have access to, and have made use of, all census records which have also been very helpful in tracing this unknown part of my family.
