Hi,
I'm struggling to find the marriage record of these two ancestors of mine.
According to the 1871 John was born in Cardiganshire in 1825. Jane is recorded as born in 1836 in Trewen, Denbighshire, Wales but this is recorded as Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant in the 1881 census.
Regarding my family tree I believe Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant to be an important place, so if it is that area it would help me with other avenues of research.
Again according to the 1871 census, seven of their children were born in Llanfihangel-Geneu'r-y-Glyn. However Mary who appears to be their first child is recorded as born in Pen-y-Bont, Montgomeryshire in 1855. Three more appear on the 1881 census.
Their daughter Adelaide Morgan is my gg grandmother and she married into a family from the Llanfyllin area whose family tree is quite detailed and well researched. It doesn't seem logical that the Mary above would be born in Penybont, Montgomeryshire thus I'm wondering if perhaps this may refer to penybontfawr where Adelaide's father in law Rev. Owen Evans (b 1829) was born and which is very close to Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant. Obviously I'm eager to know what Jane's maiden name is as this would greatly help with my research.

Census information is also available on the Ceredigion Council website (link below)
https://www.ceredigion.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=11951
Lastly I wasn't sure what section of the website to pose this question as Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant seems to come under both Montgomeryshire and Denbighshire.

Do you have Jane's maiden name :-\

birth certificate for Adelaide would confirm Jane's maiden name. Finding the marriage without would be guesswork.

Ah yes you're right I should just get hold of the birth certificate.
I am too thrifty a family history researcher for own good sometimes. That should have been obvious. I'll get hold of it.

Yes I realised at the last moment that the way I wrote that it would be possinlble to confuse the request as one for Adelaide's.

The Trewern refereed to as Jane's place of birth in the 1871 census is next to Llanrhaiadr-yn-Mochnant directly to the East according to this map

Still confused over the Penybont birth location of her child Mary. There is a Penybont just south of Talybont that I didn't notice but Montgomeryshire was clearly given in the 1871 census not Cardiganshire.
