Notes From FHO:

Freebmd:
Death: John WATKIN, aged 75, Dec 1876, Rotherham 9c 365

From the 1841 census entry, "Ema Loyd" is interesting. She is only 7 so almost certainly a relation

From the 1851 census entry, there is "Watkin Watkin, step-brother, age 18". He seems to be the son of a Richard Watkin living in Newtown.

1841 Census:
HO / 107 / 1440 / 1, folio 13/14 page 43
Newtown
Newtown Middle Division
Richard Watkin 60 Miller Y
Catherine " 50 Y
Evan " 20 Cloth? Weaver Y
Watkin " 5 Y
Catherine " 4

Almost certainly Richard is John Watkin's father and Watkin Watkin is Richard's son from a 2nd marriage to Catherine.

On this assumption, John was born 9 Sep 1800 in Llangynog to Richard and Anne:

Richard Watkin = Anne Davies, 27 Dec 1798, Llangynog
- John, 9 Sep 1800, Llangynog

From the mariage Richard is from the parish of Pennant

Probable death:
- Richard Watkin, buried 4 May 1842, Newtown, age 62

Probable birth:
John Watkin = Mary
- Richard Watkin, baptised 10 Feb 1780, Llanllwchaiarn
