    3. Hi Liz Sorry I missed you too - perhaps next time. Thanks for the certificate information. You'll find lots of cousins on the Hawkesbury List. Here are some brief details about your family. John WATTS born about 1791 - son of Hugh WATTS & Betty JACKSON who married 21 Nov 1790 at Hawkesbury Hugh was the son of Alexander WATTS & Jane KEEPEN married Feb 18 1765 at old Sodbury This WATTS family appear to have their roots in Old Sodbury and I have traced it back to William WATTS who died in 1694/5 who was a blacksmith. If you look at Robert's Hawkesbury website you'll find a couple of WATTS wills.that relate to this family. Jane PRITCHARD was the daughter of Isaac & Anna. Isaac was bapt Sept 1 1762 at Chipping Sodbury the son of Samuel PRITCHARD & Mary KEEPEN. Mary & Jane KEEPEN were sistesr, daughters of John KEEPEN & Jane ANNESLEY. There are a number of marriages between the WATTS, PRITCHARD & KEEPEN families and it is far too complicated to explain here! If you would like a GEDCOM file let me know. Best wishes Carole
