Hello Keith, I have a Harriet Watkins christened 3 Feb 1835 in Eaton Bishop. She was the daughter of James Watkins and Mary. Batch #C138791 James Watkins married Mary Skyrme at Eaton Bishop on 30 January 1826. Batch #M138792 BUT there is also a marriage of a John Watkins to Harriet Jones at Eaton Bishop on 30 November 1830. I can't find a child of this marriage, so far. One of these Watkins should be yours! By the names you are researching, we may be connected, as I also have Watkins, Maddox and Jones!! However, only the Maddox appear to be from the Shropshire/Montgomery area.
