Just a try - you never know as first names often run in families.

I have a whole load of William and Henry Worgans over in the Newland area, some of whom I’m sure are my direct antecedents, but separating them has proved to be impossible so far.

Good luck with your research - keep us updated if you find anything please.

PS Just to add do not take ages listed in a census literally. The first censuses had very odd instructions on how ages should be calculated and entered. Plus, people then as now sometimes lie about, or misremember, their age. I had one relative back a couple of hundred years ago who consistently took 10 years off her actual age when doing the census - probably because she'd have been several years older than her husband if she hadn't :-)
