CU, just a thought, what District was the certificate issued from ? (and sub district that may give a clue) if not what about the electoral roll for the informant,?
I found one of mine this year who died aged 101 in Camden  London her cremated remains were buried with her mother and father in Abercynon! Found that from the council/grave records!
newbie  ;D

Oh Thank you Gareth. You're a Star.
 Yes Morgan was her Toy Boy. She was bapt in 1829 and he was born in 1839.
She did use to knock a few years off when the census man came though.  ;D
