Once again thank you so much for your reply,

But now I have a problem,
On my family I had a admission for Thomas Merrick of Tredegar Monmouth Labourer eldest son of Stephen Merrick late of Hay (deceased) freeman of Hereford on the 26th June 1826,
Stephen died 1818 Hay on Wye.
Thomas was baptised 4th apr 1802 Hereford St John father Stephen Merrick mother Mary.
Stephen was a Staymaker and Inn Holder,
Could there be another Thomas Merrick in Tredegar at the same Time?
Any help would be great thank you.
ps I work nights so sorry I can`t always reply straight away
