I was simply looking for any marriage of a George MORGAN and a Mary Ann, and this one just over a year before the first baby, in the right district, seemed worth looking at. She might have been a widow, as she was apparently 26 or so by then. All marriages had to be registered in England and Wales after 1837, so if you don't find the obvious, look for alternatives. I found, in a family I researched a few years back, that the mother's maiden surname on her children's birth certificates was actually that of her step-father, who was listed as her father on her marriage certificate, but she was actually married in her legal maiden name, the one she was baptised with in the 1820s. Have you found them in Maesteg in 1861 (both born Pontypool) and in 1871? As he was an Iron Roller (1871), possibly a Baller (1861) the history of ironworks in Maesteg, Llangynwyd parish, Glamorgan and in Panteg, Trevethin parish, Pontypool, would seem to be relevant. The GENUKI pages for these areas should be useful. Llangynwyd was in Bridgend registration district. George is in Panteg (spelled Panteague) in 1851 with birth given as Trevethin. The reference is HO107; Piece: 2449; Folio: 634; Page: 70 . He is lodging with the family of Joseph JONES 41 and his wife Ann, 39 and William MORGAN, widower,66 b. Mon.,Llangibby, Ann's father, who may of course also have been George's father. George was a tinplate shearer at that point. I suspect he was also the same person in Panteague in 1841 shown as age 12 with Wm. Morgan, '50' a Shearer and a Susan Morgan 13. Reference HO107; Piece 749; Book: 20; Enumeration District: 22; Folio: 19; Page: 31; Line: 6 On Mike John's site in Trevethin marriages there is a William MORGAN marrying Ann RICHARDS in 1828 and in Llangibby several William Morgan marriages in the early 1800s. In 1851 a Mary Ann DANIEL, 22, a Tin scourer, born Trevethin was lodging in Panteague with widower Mary ORAM, a pauper, and her daughter. Reference is HO107; Piece: 2449; Folio: 615; Page: 32 In 1841 census a Mary DANIEL,14 is in Panteague with John DANIEL, 40, a miner, and no-one else in the household. Reference is HO107; Piece 749; Book: 20; Enumeration District: 23; Folio: 45; Page: 16; Line: 25 Jeff

Hello list I feel I owe this list an apology for not thanking everyone sooner, especially Jeff for all the hard work put in answering my query. I now have a basis with which to carry my research further.
