Just adding David was a Shoemaker on Evan's baptism.  They also had children baptised at Llanfihangel in 1809, 1811 & 1813

Where and when did they marry

Can I check ages? You mention "abt 1779" for David and "1775" for Mary. If I have the right Censuses -living Brynffynon '41 with Evan and Brynyfunon '51 with Rees?

1851 - both aged 75, born c. 1776
1841 - both aged 65 (born 1772-1776 allowing for rounding down)

Can you confirm if they can be found in '41 and '51 and, if so, confirm census reference nos?

FindMyPast has 5 x Mary Morgan (no "s") born Carno 1770-1779.

There's 1 x Mary Morgans (with an "s") in this decade - but location is Llanllwchaearn.

I plumped for the pair in '41 living with Evan, born 1821 and in '51 at same address. Hence my querying ages.

Thank you all for your help.   It would appear both David and Mary were the same age,  the marriage in 1802 is correct and I think it might be right on the census him living with his son Thomas also census for 1841 and 51 are also correct the burials are a almost certainly them as they were Married at St Michaels Church also :)
