It's one of my brick walls. Apparently, he was born in London in ~ 1816 - or maybe in Wales, depending on which census I believe. No one of his surname other than him is listed in that Welsh town in 1841.

His father was not in that shire, or in Wales so far as I can find, and I don't know what part of England his people were from.

On the other hand, sorting out which Mary Morgan and her father, David Morgan, are the right ones is near impossible. Sorting John Smiths might be easier!
