the FreeBMD should have a GRO reference number. And yeah, tracing someone called Morgan in Wales is a bit needle in a haystack (I have Morgan ancestors, bit further back though, 17th century...and I've pretty much given up on tracing back further than my ancestor Henry Morgan who showed up in Maryland in the 1630's).

It's not certain but there's a chance the David Morgan and Catherine who were parents of Mary Morgan christened in 1815 in Llanbadarn Fawr are the same as the David Morgan and Catherine who were parents to the Mary Morgan christened two years earlier in Llanfihangel y Creuddyn; something I've noticed in doing my own genealogy is a tendency for parents to reuse names if a child died in infancy (and I have at least one ancestor who named two of his sons John, one being called "Johannes" to distinguish him from the other).
