Biography

Watkin was born in 1772. He passed away about 1840.

Possibly called Sir Watkin Wyn-Watkin, who was the last knight of Tamworth Castle. Possible father of Mary Temple (Mother was chr. 18/03/1759). Member of parliament. Records at Aberystwyth.

Never married Mary Temple. If he was paying Joseph Temple money, that would imply that he was providing for his illegitimate daughter
