Help with place of birth please!
« on: Saturday 09 March 13 19:12 GMT (UK) »
Hi, here I have a Thomas Morgan from 1841 & 1851 but I cannot read the place of birth either time. The census was taken in Bedwellty,

Any help reading the place of birth would be fantastic as I have hit a dead end with this line without knowing where Thomas was born.

Thanks!
