Burial records I mean

Rees married Mary Evan in Neath and had several children, one of them was William. I worked back using baptism and marriage records, which date back to the 1730s

If you can't find burial records, how do you know where they died?

What else do you know about the son?

Did he marry? Did he father any legitimate children?

How did you work back to these two?

Have you looked for info at familysearch?

Unless either lived till after July 1837. there won't be death records

Hello

I was wondering if someone could be able to find a death record for Rees Watkins and his son William Watkins, both of them were born and died in Neath.

Rees was born in 1744, whilst William was born in 1775.

I checked a death of a William Watkins in free bmd in 1842 and he can be discounted as he is the wrong person

my thanks
