That's very helpful, Shirley - much more likely than Merionethshire!
Many thanks
Ron

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
