thomas Morgan Thomas mar Mary Ann (Parish Records)
I have Thomas Morgan Thomas marrying in Frampton on Severn, Gloucestershire 9/11/1843. I think he could have been born in Breconshire, Wales about 1817. I am wondering if his father or parents were noted in the records for this marriage, where he was born and what his age or occupation was.
Any details on his wife would be appreciated also. His wife died and he emigrated to Australia with his children. Can anyone help give us a clue to where he came from and his family. Cheers from Australia. Pat

Frampton on Severn is outside the Forest of Dean and it would appear that there is no Forest connection.
That said here are some findings:
