Hi Jeff,
I didn't know you were also active on the MON List - and as helpful here as
in GLAM ;-)
The Cambrian announcement - even if there is no more detail in the original
notice - is helpful in telling my that the Rev. Thomas MORRIS had already
died before 13 Dec 1850.
The reference you found to a marriage in 1807 is also encouraging - in
following it up in FMP I have found the marriage recorded in Carmarthen
St.Peter; unfortunately no sign of a baptism of a child for them named
Elizabeth ... but it remains a distinct possibility!
Many thanks
Ron

I'll see if there is any more detail in the original notice. The date is
the date of the newspaper, so marriage will have been a few days earlier
There is a marriage of Thomas Morris Esq in 1807 in Carmarthen to Maria
Thornton in the Cambrian Index. May not be connected.
There are various refs to another Rev. Thomas MORRIS probably unconnected

Hi
Can't help at the moment with Thomas Morris but there is an AberTrinant
Farm in Llanwrda, Carmarthenshire.

Subject: [MON] Rev. Thomas MORRIS, Newport ca.1850
Good-morning Monmouthshire List!
I'm a Glam Lister who has just popped over the border to solicit your
help. I have a Glamorgan MI for an Elisabeth POWELL, who died in 1852,
which tells me that she was the 'daughter of the late Rev. Thomas MORRIS
of Newport' .
The 1851 census tells me that Elisabeth/Elizabeth was born in
'Abertrinant, Carmarthenshire' ca. 1810. The place does not appear to
exist - perhaps it should be Abertrinant, Merionethshire, or maybe a large
house or farm name in Carmarthenshire - still to be resolved??? I have
found what I believe to be Elizabeth's marriage in Newport in 1850 and
have just ordered the certificate, which may help me a little more on
her/her father's origins. Meanwhile, I am wondering whether the name Rev.
Thomas MORRIIS of Newport rings any bells with Mon Listers. From the
scanty evidence I am assuming that he was probably born around 1780 +/- 10
years and that he was a Vicar or minister of some denomination in Newport
for several years in the 1840's, I can see no sign of him in the 1851
census so I assume he had died by then.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Best regards,
Ron
