Missing Morgan Charles

[Charles IX]

Im trying to find out any information about Morgan Charles, he was born in Llanddeusant, Llandovery his date of birth is kind of sketchy one record says he was born in 1818 and christened in 1823 but in the 1841 census it says he was born about 1826. His parents were Morgan and Hannah Charles and other than the record on familysearch which is where I got his D.O.B and christening from, I cannot find anything else on him. I would love it if someone could help me find out what happened to him....

Kind Regards
Charles

Hi

The IGI extracted has his christening in 1823 but no date of birth.  The DOB entries are submitted so should be treated with caution, the only way of checking these would be the parish register entry.  Don't forget that ages were rounded down in the 1841 census and 15 - 19 year olds should be recorded as 15 

Sorry I am no more help at the moment

Charles
Census 1841 (HO 107 1386 1/5 3)
Morgan Charles, 50, Farmer
Anne Charles, 35
Jenet Charles, 20
Mary Charles, 20
Morgan Charles, 15
John Charles, 9
William Charles, 7
Margaret Charles, 4
Eleanor Charles, 1
John Evans, 35, Ag Lab
Address Tyrclyn, Llanddausant. All born Carmathenshire.

Census 1851 (HO107 2470 5 3)
Morgan Charles, Head, Marrr, 63, Farmer 63 Acres, Llanddausant
Ann Charles, Wife, Marr, 49, Llanddausant
Mary Morgans, Dau, Unm, 27,     "
John Morgans, Son, Unm, 19,     "
Elenor Morgans, Dau, Unm, 11,  "
Rachel Morgans, Dau, Unm, 9,    "
Charles Morgans, Son, Unm, 5, Llanddausant
Hannah Thomas, G/Dau, 2, Llanddausant
John Evans, 50, Farm Servant,  "
John Jones, 16, Farm Servant
Address Tyryclyn, Llanddausant

It's the same family in both instances even though the Enumerator looks to have captured the children's Surname incorrectly in the 1851 Census.

If so, "Charles Morgans, Son, 5" should read "Morgan Charles, Son, 5". This would then point to the the elder Morgan Charles having died.

Any thoughts?

Charles,
The penny's just dropped.
If the Enumerator has captured Morgan instead of charles, "Charles Morgans" should read "Charles Charles" - not Morgan Charles. That's wishful thinking on my part, perhaps.

A Charles Charles was registered Llandovery Dec 1845 26 529.

Hi Rosie and Hanes teulu,
                                         Thank you both for your replys. Hanes teulu:- Sorry I should have mentioned in my first post that in the 1851 census the family surname is under Morgan not Charles... Confusing I know it had me stumped for ages so Charles Morgan is actually Charles Charles brother of Morgan Charles (the one Im looking for)
Rosie:- On the IGI serach if you type in Morgan Charles 1818 two people come up one with a father Charles Charles and one with a father called Morgan Charles in the Llanddeusant area. Although they are all related its the one with the father of the same name Im interested in. Again its a bit confusing with all these people of the same name knocking around 

Kind Regards
Charles

But there was a Charles Morgans registered in Llandovery in 1841( Sept), although the age is 4 years out as he would have been 9. Could this be an example of Welsh patronimic naming? What name were they using in 1861?

Hi Charles

Both of the 1818 records are 'submitted' and have no source so can only be treated as dubious.  If he had been born 1818 I would have expected him to have been christened at the same time as Lewis Charles who has the 'same parents' (Batch No C099321) and not 5 years later - the submitted dates are after all 'about' dates, only the parish register would solve this IF it had the birth date on it.

Also back to the search and where is Lewis    Rosie

Ah I didnt notice that the birth record was submitted, I was wondering the same thing about Morgan if he was ideed born in 1818 then why wasnt he christened the same time as his borther Lewis... I had a thought yesterday after Hanes Teulu showed me the 1851 census again and was thinking is there a possibilaty that Morgan died at some point between 1841 and 1851 but was registered at the time of death as Morgan Morgan??? I looked and theres 2 Morgan Morgan's that died between 41/51 in the Llandovery area one in 1842 and one in 1845 BUT it doesnt have the ages on them  and Im a bit reluctant of buying the two certificates because theres just as much chance they could be from an actual Morgan family line and not even from Llanddeusant....

Morganllan:- The 1851 was the only time the that surname "Morgan/s" was used every other census its been Charles

Kind Regards
