Hi Janet,

I suggest this is John's burial, from this site's PRs;

Before finding this PR I searched all "John Morgan" Burials in Monmouth District during 1880-1891 on FreeBMD and this was the closest match age-wise. Now I see the precise location fits too, his widow Daramis was living in Pillowell at 1891 Census.

From the Wills section of this site;

But why wasn't he on 1851 Census with the family ? Perhaps he dies before 1851 ?

---------------

How about, probably much more likely I think.
Old Croft is only 1/2 mile from Pillowell/Yorkley so seems to fit the family's home area from 1851 etc Census'.
Please do you have the household's place of residence for the 1841 Census, to compare against ??

Searching William I find (as I'm sure you did);

Now assuming he hasn't just left the home, I'm sure you've searched, is this his death on FreeBMD, it's the best fit I can find in the district.

From this site's PRs, I wonder if it should read age 31 not 37 ?? (I cannot see a match on FreeBMD for a 37year old dying at this time), you might like to request a Check of this PR ??;
