The link to the 1851 that you gave looks like it's for a Morris Morris not Moses 

Add - another site also has this record as Morris Morris

Oof, that's what I get for composing that message from my phone.

I noticed the botched name, but suspected an enumeration error. The census is a year after the marriage, in the same parish, and one of two people named Gwellian Morris in the vicinity. Moses Morris is an uncommon name, and with a matching father's name, I was quick to suspect them being one and the same -- but maybe being too generous.

I haven't found the 1851 census, but here's 1841 (Wales; Bedwelty) and 1861 (England; Durham).

Hi

I'm wondering if Wales is wrong. His father is born Newcastle ?Wales and the birthplace of his mother might be Gateshead (opposite bank of the Tyne to Newcastle)

Just my first thought.

Apologies -- totally forgot to respond. I suspect you're right, considering the Wales/England switch between the 1841/1861 census. I thought similarly about Newcastle when I started the thread, but didn't want to bias anybody -- really appreciate your insight!

Where was the mother in 1841?

Bedwelty, Monmouthshire, Wales

Does it state "Born in County"?

No -- and the same applies to the larger family, husband and three sons.

AncestryDNA Match Filter - Available for Chrome browsers in United States, United Kingdom, and Canada geographies.

A couple months ago, I polled a genealogical community's interest in a browser plugin that could filter your AncestryDNA matches. What I envisioned was, you can temporarily filter out any DNA match, and their shared matches from your results.

Before (Screenshot)	After (Screenshot)
Assume I want to view matches for my maternal grandfather -- my mother's father. I'll click the "filter shared matches" button for my father (John Doe), and maternal grandmother (Jane Q. Public).	This has removed everyone whose shared matches include my father or maternal grandmother. This leaves matches that I inherited from my maternal grandfather. If I scroll down, new data will be filtered appropriately.

I intended this plugin for genetic genealogy use cases. You can isolate DNA matches to a relative you haven't tested, or hide DNA matches who have a shared match. If you can suggest more use cases, I'll add them to the description.

I've tentatively released this plugin on the Chrome Web Store. I'm hoping to receive some feedback from this community. If you find something that breaks, or doesn't work as expected, please let me know! If you're finding it useful, please leave a review on the Chrome Web Store.

One caveat – this extension requires your DNA matches to be presented in the default format. That is, sorted by relationship with no searches, groups, etc. applied. The easiest thing to do – go to your DNA homepage, and click “View All DNA Matches.”

Where would I find land records for 18th century Brecknockshire? I am aware of the 1798 land tax assessment, but nothing more. The timeframe predates the tithe maps.

To provide some context - in a 1745 document, my sixth great-grandfather is variously described as a yeoman and a gentleman. Those descriptors lead me to suspect he was a landowner. I have scant information about him, but am hoping that land records will illuminate him further.

To investigate land records, what information do I need? Any acreage was probably local to Cwmdu.
