16. FreeBMD.org.uk is where I found the marriage information

But since apparently I have to order it from Cardiganshire, for some reason I thought it would be in Welsh.

My sister was in England and may have ordered it. I need to check with her before I do.

I tried looking for Morgans in the village where she lived - Llanfihangel y Creuddyn - but there are too many. On some census she lists her place of birth as Llanbadarn Fawr and I've tried looking there, too. Her age changed, too. 1841 she would have been born in 1816, 1851 - 1814, same in 1861.

I end up with as possibilities:
Mary Morgan, christened 18 Jul 1813, Llanfihangel y Creuddyn, parents David Morgan and Chatherine
Mary Morgan, christened 10 Dec 1815, Llanbadarn Odwyn, parents David Morgan and Eleanor
Mary Morgan, christened 3 Mar 1815, Llanbadarn Fawr, parents Richard Morgan and Anne
Mary Morgan, christened 6 Mar 1815, Llanbadarn Fawr, parents David Morgan and Catherine

I like one of the Davids as her father because David Morgan became a family name. There are no Richards in the family so I doubt that is her father, though there are Annes - but no Catherines.

I've been over and over the records and until I order a birth certificate, I can't go any farther. And even if I verify the parents, tracing a David Morgan in Wales would be no easier than tracing a Mary Morgan there!
