Montgomeryshire / Re: Thomas Richard Morgan (1820-63) - farmer in Dolfor.

Just as an update, this post has moved me on significantly. I've been in touch with the current farmer at Bronhafod in Tregynon via the village Facebook group and now have photos of the house. I've also moved back a couple of generations to the early 1700s where the family seem to have moved from Clun.

I've now received the Thomas Morgan/Jane Morris marriage certificate from 1851 and am pleased to report it establishes some excellent information.   :)

So thanks to those of you who pointed me in the right direction!

In 1851 Thomas was 31, still single and living with his parents. The certificate names his father as Richard Morgan(s) and confirms he was a farmer living in Tregynon. I have the name of the farm - which still exists - and this has enabled me to pick the family up on the censuses of 1841 and 1851, with the usual numerous children, which I can now research.

You’ve got some pretty common surnames there, so I’ll initially just tell you how many there are of each

Cecil - 0
Gilbert - 2
Webb - 7
Parry - 0, but see Pacey and Perry
Howells - 1, but 3 called Howell and 1 Hoell
Thomas - 13
Harris - 11
Word - 0
Hyatt - 0
Edwards - 8

So, up to 50 individuals. Do you have any specific names to narrow it down?

I've now visited the centre and read and photographed your documents. I don't know how much you know about the individuals but the one on George Hopkins has a lot of interesting detail.

Summarising or transcribing would take some time - much easier if I can send you jpegs. What's the best way to do that - email?

I can, though I’m a new and occasional visitor to the site. But looking up names in this book is very easy.

I also have a copy of this book and it’s worth pointing out that it lists individuals alphabetically by surname, then also lists them under the towns and villages they came from. I’m using it to research the rebels that came from my village.

I've taken a flyer and ordered it - I couldn't see anywhere to put a condition specifying it had to be a Morgan-Morris union, but the facts do seem to suggest it is. The order form asks for both names, so I don't know what GRO would do if they found each had married someone else?

It does seem odd that the records don't show who married whom, but I suppose there was some reason.

Thank you. It seems very likely that this is the correct marriage, so I will certainly try that.

I suppose it’s certain there is a certificate? I’m surprised it hasn’t come up on Ancestry, but I’m no expert on how all the sources work.

Thanks again. This is why I'm stuck.

In a previous reply, Mabel said

"There's a potential Thomas Morgan - Jane Morris marriage in Q4 1851"

...which sounds promising, but I haven't found that. At least the names and date all fit.
