hi, just to muddy the water; my family of Morgans in the 1871 census had a Thomas Morgan lodging with them, he was 23 years old,a blacksmith, unmarried and born in Victoria, Monmouthshire. I thought I would add this as all information, however trivial, may be of some use to someone. [ especially someone missing a Thomas Morgan] regards, john.

My G Grandfather Henry was from Llanelly and his wife Mary was from Blaenavon. They were both born around 1856/7.

I have not been able to go back further though. They had William and Annie, and I believe their son Archibald went on to marry Florence from Cardiff.

Do you have any links to this?

hi Buttonmoon,             I have an interest in  Henry Morgan born approx, 1820 at Blaenavon. his wife was from Abersychan [first name;mary] They had a son born in either Grandefferte  or Abersychan, depending on which census you read. Between his birth in 1859 approx, and the birth of their next child in approx,1862 they moved to swindon in wiltshire. This is about as much as I know at the present, I have not had great deal of success at trying to find them in Wales. One of their daughters was my gtgrandmother.Any help you can give me I would be eternaly gratefull  of. regards, john

The first marriage at the Zion Baaptist Church in Blaenavon was in 1919 with William Morgan & Martha Elsie Taylor. Do they fit into your tree?
William lived in his latter years in Forge Side and was a shoe maker.
