Title: John & Sarah Watts (nee Morgan); Lydbury North
Post by: wattsy1 on Friday 01 January 10 16:45 GMT (UK)

Can anyone help please? I'm trying to track down the parents of John Watts (1717-1798) and Sarah Watts (nee Morgan) of Lydbury North, parents of Rowland Watts b.1760.
Have drawn a blank, so if anyone can assist I would be much obliged, thank you.

I have found on the amazing Lydbury North site a baptism for a John Wats (sic)
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~markgeorge/LydburyWeb/registers/reg1719.html

in 1719, son of William and Catharine on 2 November.

Lower Down is close by and I don't think there was a church there.

From my experience in relatives living in Lydbury, they weren't far from Clun, so you may find some folk there. Shropshire Record office will do searches for you for a reasonable cost.
