Text of Marriage announcement in the Cambrian, 13th Dec 1850, is
On the 3th inst.,by license, at the Baptist Temple, Newport, by the Rev.
D. Edwards, Mr. Wm. Powell, Ty-draw, Glamorganshire, to Miss Morris,
daughter of the late Rev. Thos. Morris, Newport.
It seems likely that Rev Morris was also a Baptist.
