I have taken on board your advice and you are right Bill I will have to send off for the certificates. I have been putting off doing so incase of disappointment and also cost but at least I can eliminate as I go along instead of assuming and I seem to be doing quite a bit of that (infant years in family research). I did come across another Sophia Morgan a gentleman in the Dyfed F.H.S. did a look up for me and came up with this HO107/2479, Haycastle, folio 16, page 1, schedule 3. 1851 Census Thomas Morgan age 31 born Haycastle Mary Morgan age 26 born Llandeloy Martha Morgan age 6 born Whitechurch [possibly Whitechurch] Sophia Morgan age 3 born Brawdy ( was living in Haycastle but born in Brawdy ) Ann Morgan age 1 born Brawdy My Assumption. 1851 Census SCH PARISH FORNAME SURNAME AGE CTY POF BIRTH FOL PG 31 SDW WILLIAM MORGANS 37 PEM AMBLESTON 249 9 31 SDW ANN MORGANS 48 PEM HAYCASTLE 249 9 31 SDW SARAH MORGANS 11 PEM AMBLESTON 249 9 31 SDW MARY MORGANS 8 PEM AMBLESTON 249 9 31 SDW SOPHIA MORGANS 6 PEM AMBLESTON 249 9 AT the moment Bill I have only a Form of Requisition for a Certificate of Birth for my Grandfather.
