Hi Pat The George Morgan who was of Crinow Glebe, Llandissilio in 1851 was one of my relatives. I had recorded the name as Grinow Glebe, but Crinow Glebe makes more sense as a place name. George was the son of David Morgan by his wife Sarah, nee Beddoe of Llwyncelyn, Egremont. I have most of the family on most of the censuses but not 1851. Do you have the rest of the 1851 census for Llandissilio. If so, would you mind checking for George's other sons. The eldest John would be about 28 and probably at Plasymeibion. the second, James would be about 26 and probably at Pencnwc East with a wife and 2 children. George's youngest son, William, became a merchant in Narberth and may well have been living there in 1851, perhaps as an apprentice. Amongst George's descendants were Elsie Sinclair Morgan, wife of Thomas Rees Francis, headmaster of Narberth School from 1924, and (William) Vincent Morgan, a doctor in Narberth in the 1920s and Medical Officer to the Narberth Union Workhouse.
