Looking at the census', this family appear all to be born/living in Mitchel Troy, Monmouthshire, which is outside the FOD area :

Not sure what happened to Eliza YOUNG after 1851, so can't check for place of birth - to see whether she was born in the FOD (nearest baptism at Woolaston, Elizabeth DAVIES, 29 August 1819, parents William & Sarah)

But this website has additional information which may have links to the FOD???

(both these two links seems to have your Francis YOUNG - first wife Margaret MEREDITH - second wife Eliza DAVIES)

(and you may be aware already) if you have access to Ancestry, there are many Public Members Trees listed on your particular line)
