Hi Kate,

Are they the ones on the 1891 census at Plaesycoed, Trevethin, Thomas and Sarah J born Pontnewynydd, children Ernest, Thomas, James and Ethelbert/Delbert or similar?
In 1901 at Cwmffrwdoer, Abersychan - Thomas and Sarah J both born Cwmffrwdoer

I can find only one Thomas Watkins to a Sarah J marriage in Pontypool in the right time frame, source www.freebmd.org.uk

March quarter 1882 Pontypool 11a 169
Thomas Watkins to possibly Sarah Jane Taylor

A birth cert for one of their children would confirm or disprove that Sarah's maiden name was Taylor.
