I have MORGAN ancestors in Mathry certainly back before 1750, but they had cousins in Bristol. I don't know where their common forebears came from. My first cousin (five times removed) George LLOYD of Penfeidr, Newport, married Martha, daughter of James MORGAN(S) of Ambleston in 1800. - This family might relate to Marlena's G Grandmother Sophia. There are several MORGAN wills and admons for Pembrokeshire pre-1800. There are also MORGAN references in Historic Houses of Pembrokeshire by Francis Jones. You ask about early census entries for MORGAN(S) - there are no census records surviving from before 1841. As to BTs, you might do better to look at the Dyfed FHS fiches of pre-1813 marriages to see where MORGANs crop up. Regards Bill G-J

Hi Bill, its Marlena I just had to email you, just read your reply to Sue and saw my name, if there is a connection with Sophia I would be over the moon I only found out her name about two years ago. My Grandfather told me his Mother died in childbirth I was very young myself I so wish I had asked him more. I only had a Form of Requisition For a Certificate of Birth to go on, before that I never knew where he was born or who is Mum and Dad were, if you think there just might be a connection please would you contact me. Many Thanks Marlena
