Re: Anne Clarke Morgan
Her father was Antony Morgan, bap. Llanaber 11 Nov 1772, son of Robert
Morgan, of Llanaber and Mary Thomas. He married Catherine Evans of
Tywyn on 5 Oct. 1804, and died in 1844. Probate of Antony Morgan,
Gent of Hendre, Llangelynin, done in 1845.
According to Lewis Lloyd, in his book on the history of Barmouth,
Anthony Morgan was a Quaker. The non-parochial registers at TNA
include the Quaker births/baptisms in series RG6, and are maybe
worth studying.

A Quaker baptism would presumably not be accepted by the Church of
England and she would have to be baptised again in preparation for
a CoE wedding.
Robert Morgan, Plas canol, Llanaber belonged to a minor gentry family
with an exceedingly long pedigree. One 16th century genealogist,
probably teasing, described the family as the `Morgans of the line of
Iestyn ab Gwrgan', referring to the 12th century prince of Glamorgan.
Mary, his wife, was the daughter of Hugh Thomas of Hendre, Llangelynin
who was a descendant of Anthony Thomas, Sheriff of Merionethshire in 1683.
They married 2 July 1755 at Llangelynin.
