There is a Morgan Morgan in the 1851 Wales census and his wife Ann ( ) and their son William Morgan in Monmouthshire, Bedwelty Parish, Village of Ebbw Vale. HO 107 2448. I am not able to determine the birthplace for Morgan Morgan and Ann ( ). I have tried Googling the names but no luck. Perhaps the census taker mis-spelled the names. If someone is browsing Ancestry, or other resource, and your time allows, would you interpret the birth location for those folks. Thank you in advance for anything you can provide. If you are researching these folks, let's talk. Dave Zimmerman Howell, Michigan USA
