You're very welcome, we are all always pleased to help-out on this friendly forum.

Re the Advanced search feature, this is a really helpful feature and very flexible, I do recommend any newer users "play around" with it and find just how useful it can be, especially when researching commonly-occurring names.
For example, as your family appear to be local to the Homend part of Ledbury, I've re-searched the Burial PRs using Advanced search, and only inputting the words "Morgan" and "Homend" into the Surname and Residence search boxes. This gave a table of just 12 Burial records. The headings of each column in the table are Blue hyperlinks, so clicking any heading will change the way the table is displayed/ordered. Clicking "Year" will make it display in chronological order, thus making it easier to interprete, as below.

The following are the Burial PRs which I suggest are PROBABLY related to your family, so need further research (marriages?, Census' etc); I'm sure some of them will relate to the earlier Baptisms I listed, or give clues as to earlier generations of the family.

220389 1886 Jun 7 MORGAN Ernest Edward Homend infant Ledbury

The same approach can be sued to search this site's Marriage PRs, again using surname "Morgan" and residence "Homend" gives these PRs.

The full PRs gives far more detail, and suggests the two maybe father and daughter;

Luckily the two occurred just before the 1841 Census was taken, this may give other members of the family.

Eg, could this be our Thomas, and there's a Harriet too... ???

1841 Homend Street, Ledbury, Herefordshire.
