My interests are John Morgan b c1767 who married Elizabeth Waters of
Llanfihangel Cwmdu on 6th July 1801. John was from Llanthetty
(Llanddetty)The Parish records for Llanddetty between 1760 and 1813 are
missing
By 1841 the Morgans are farming in Llangattock-vibon-avel in Monmouthshire
Elizabeth's parents were Thomas Wa(l)ters and Jane Edwards. Both are buried
at Bwlch
Are there any other Morgans out there with ancestors born at Llanddetty?

Hi Malcolm and everyone,
I've been have only made about 2 posts in as many years so I
think I qualify as a lurker!
I am researching my MORGAN family who were wealthy landowners from
Faversham, Kent in the 18th and 19th centuries but are reputed to come from
Penderhyn.
My earliest ancestor is JAMES MORGAN, a solicitor whom is it said was
brought to Kent in the early 18th century by his uncle Walter Jones, also a
solicitor and one-time mayor of Faversham.
James' coat of arms is the same as that seen in the Brecon area but there
are no documents to prove definitively that JAMES MORGAN connects with
those from Penderhyn.
So I'm patiently lurking here in the hope that one day a fellow researcher
will come along, preferably with the missing link!
In the meantime I'm happy to bide my time and enjoy the photos that John
Ball takes of the area.
Best wishes, Brian Fisher
