I am looking for all living relatives with the surname Watkin from the Barnsley area. I am trying to form a family tree for my grandfathers family and would love to be able to add your details to it.

I descend from Joseph Watkin and Elizabeth Guest who married in Wombwell in 1885. I know they had 10 children on the 1901 census so there must be a few of us around today!

I'm particulary interested in hearing from anyone who has Joseph c1856 and his parents/siblings on their tree. Maybe you descend from Joseph's siblings instead and can give me more family history.

Hope to hear from Watkin members soon
