Dear David
Here are my attempts at deciphering the birth-places in the censuses:
1851
William Morgan - born Carmarthenshire, Llandingat [Llandovery, see GENUKI]
Ann - Carmarthenshire, [possibly Llanycrwys, see GENUKI]
William - Monmouth[shire], Aberystruth [large ancient parish, see GENUKI]
Daniel - ditto
Eleanor - Monmouth[shire], Bedwellty [large ancient parish, see GENUKI]
Catherine - ditto
1861
William Morgan - born Carmar-shire, Tingat [Llandingat]
Ann - Carmarthenshire, Llanyrwse [possibly Llanycrwys]
William - Monmouth[shire], Blaina [aka Blaenau Gwent (see GENUKI), in parish
of Aberystruth]
Daniel - ditto
Ellen - Monmouth[shire], Ebbw Vale [formerly in Bedwellty parish]
Catherine - ditto
John - ditto
Morgan - Monmouthshire, Ebbw Vale
Jane - ditto
1871
William Morgan - born Carmarthen[shire], Llandingat
Ann - Carmarthenshire, Llangwr?st [possibly Llanycrwys]
John - Monmouth[shire], Bedwellty
Morgan - Monmouthshire, Bedwellty
Mary A - ditto
All of the above place-names (using the spelling I've given 1n [square
brackets]) are included in the GENUKI gazetteers for the two counties
involved. The only one I have doubts about is William's wife's birthplace:
Llanycrwys is the nearest match I could find.
Kind regards,
John

Subject: [MON] Seeking help with my Wales MORGAN ancestors.
My MORGAN ancestors, William MORGAN(S) and Ann LLEWELLYN (and variations)
were
born in Carmarthenshire in the early
1800's.
They later moved to Monmouthshire in the 1840's, married on 15
December, 1845 in Tredegar, St George, in the parish of Bedwellty.
They had a number of children subsequent to that time and the family is
enumerated in the Wales Census;
1851 - HO 107, Piece 2448, Folio 693, Page 16 Household Schedule 41, or
Monmouthshire, Parish of Bedwellty, Village of Ebbw Vale.
1861 - RG 9, Piece 4005, Folio 20, Page 2, or Monmouthshire, Parish of
Bedwellty, Town of Ebbw Vale.
1871 - RG 10, Piece 5325, Folio 5, Page 4, or Monmouthshire, Parish of
Bedwellty, Town of Ebbw Vale.
Also In 1871 this MORGAN family emigrated to America and so the trail for
them
in Wales ends.
My problem is I cannot determine the towns or parishes where they were born.
My
interpretation of the places of birth found on the census returns do not
correspond to locations found at the GENUKI Gazetteer. If I am able to read
or
guess any birth locations from the Wales census, that may be found on the
GENUKI Gazetteer,
they are so widely spread out over the entire county that I am unable to
determine a specific area to search for the birth or baptism of William
Morgan
or Ann Llewellyn.
I am hopeful someone can read
and determine some of the birth locations in the census returns that might
focus in on a particular area for
me to research.
I am always hopeful that someone might recognize this family and may have
already determined the information that I am seeking.
As always, any help or direction provided on this matter is most
appreciated.
Thank you.
