Hi Alan
I think she died in 1941 after childbirth i am told, my aunty had to go and live with her older sister at the time. I tried to read the information on the 1891 census but its transcription is difficult to read and was wondering if anyone else might be able to read it better than i. Many thanks for your reply and appreciate the help given.

Hi Patchem

I am told her father was Isiah Watkins and am told (but could be missinformation) he was a miner. thank you for your reply. she supposed to have a brother called Llewellyn (his middle name) and a sister Tilly ( a pet name i think or a short version of something) Lynn
