MORGAN family from Tenby - Help!

[becca.morgan]

Thanks so much, I've ordered immediately! That's brilliant!

There is this on IGI

JONAH MORGAN
born 14 DEC 1819 Bethesda Particular Baptist, Narberth, Pembroke, Wales

parents: John Morgan and Phoebe


but then on 1851 census birth place doesn't match - i'm sure you'll confirm this from the cert anyway

Have looked on 1841 Llandowror and can't find Jonah there

[becca.morgan]

That's a pain about the birth places. Is that likely to be a transcription error, or something else?

Good luck!

[becca.morgan]

Another relative already had the certificate. No father is given for Jonah, and Sarah's father is given as William Davies.

I can't read any other info - can I post it as an attachment, or is it copyright?

Thanks,

Rebecca

That looks good, I wonder why he gave different birth places... They're not even near each other! His oldest son was called John, so that would fit quite well.

How could I verify any of this?

Thanks again,

Becca

Have posted this from my email to you to link in my next posting - hang in there

I think from Jonah and Sarah's marriage cert says that Jonah is a servant in a husbandry and that he was living in East Lake, Amroth Parish - slightly to the east of Begelly

struggling with Sarah's details

They married in Templeton Chapel (independent) - which is between Narberth and Begelly

witnesses  John Davies and William Lewis

Have checked Amroth 1841 census and Jonah is not there

Yippee!! Think this is what Sarah's details are:

Scouring the map i have found Llanteg (Lanteg on cert) and seems to be stituated right next to the Crunwere farm which has a church right on its land - (could this be Crunwere parish on cert)

I'll keep digging

1871

Back, Begelly

Jonah Morgan - head - 52 - Labourer - Carmarthenshire
Sarah Morgan - wife - 52 - Nurse - Parish of Narberth
Elizabeth Morgan - dau - 21 - General Servant - Parish of Narberth
Hannah Morgan - dau - 16 - General Servant - Parish of Narberth (cripple from feaver?)
Levi Morgan - son - 14 - Cole miner - Parish Begelly
Margaret Anne Morgan - dau - 12 - Parish Begelly
Martha Morgan - dau - 10 - Parish Begelly
William Morgan - son - 7 - Parish Begelly
 
and..............

William Davies - father in law (widow) - 79 - Labourer on relief - Parish of Narberth

[becca.morgan]

So Jonah has now given his birth as:

1851: Llandowror, Carmarthenshire (currently spelt Llanddowror)
1861: Begelly
1871: Carmarthenshire
1881: Llandewey, Pembs

Sarah:

1851: Narbeth
1861: Begelly
1871: Narbeth
1881: South Narbeth

From that, is it more likely that Jonah was born in Carmarthenshire?
