Harry, before you go further, it might help to give some idea of when these people were born?

Evening everyone,

Im trying to find some relatives of mine, I know the names and really want to find them. there are three siblings but can only find a birth for one. Their names are John E Watkins, Gwyneth and Anne but I don't know if the girls married or if the three of them are alive. I know John was born in Surrey, England but his parents Glyndwr and Alice migrated to Tazmania so I dont know whether the girls were born there or if they stayed in England as i have no date when they moved. if anyone can help me that would be great as i havent done any research for relatives abroad. Thanks in advance, Harry :)
