Assuming my research is correct Thomas Morgan was born in 1821 in Heath and Reach married Sarah Hale in 1841 in Potsgrove. Sarah was christened in 1822 at Thorley in Hertfordshire Confirmation of their respective parents and grandparents much appreciated Rick Smith Austwick, North Yorkshire

Rick, That shouldn't be so hard. So let's think logically on the problem. I presume you've looked on www.familysearch.org but there are no Thomas Morgan christening in Bedfordshire for that timeframe. As over 90% of Bedford Parish Records are on IGI, he is either not christened, non conformist or born elsewhere. If you Google "Hugh Wallis" and look at batches for Heath and Reach, there are no Morgan christenings before about 1837. But if you examine them closely you'll see five children of William and Ann christened on the same day 30th June 1837. There's another two on 25th Nov 1838. I'd be looking for William and Ann in 1841 census. I'd almost be willing to bet you will find a range of ages for the children. Irrespective of that, Thomas and Sarah's marriage was Dec qtr 1841. So for 1841 census you should find them both still living with their respective parents. Give that a go and post the result. Peter
