Morgans in Staunton around 1820 (General)

My great grandfather Charles Morgan said he was born in Staunton around this time, son of William, a farmer.
The Parish records found on this site give a Charles born 1815 to William (a yeoman) and Anne.
Staunton is not large, and there are a few Morgans about there at that time, but I can find no link, or a real trace of William.
I now have a map of Staunton from 1845, with land ownerships listed. The only trace of property for William seems to be the White Horse Inn!
I have found Charles marriage in Mitcheldean in 1841 to Emma Maria Phillips, and then their domicile in Ross.
I would really like to know if there were siblings of Charles in Staunton or nearby.

Morgans in Staunton around 1820

Have you considered that there is more than one place called Staunton in Gloucestershire? - 1 S.E of Redmarley and 1 near Coleford east of Monmouth. There are also 2 in Herefordshire - Staunton on Arrow and Staunton on Wye. I know that there are a large number of Morgans in the latter.

Morgans in Staunton around 1820

Thanks for your reply, sian.
My g'g'grandfather was William, a farmer. His son Charles was born in Staunton, Glos. and I have traced his first marriage and her death and his second marriage and family starting in Ross. So I know I am on the right track with this Charles.
I have found a William married to Anne Wood at the right time in Staunton near Coleford, and no one of that name and time in Staunton near Newent.
However, I have not been able to find where that William (or Anne) came from, or what happened to them.
I have looked at all the parish events that are on this site for Morgans in Staunton, and cannot see a trace apart from William and Mary's marriage in 1808, and a daughter Mary in 1809, and Charles in 1815.
I can see a possible lineage in Staunton, but the absence of William and Anne's origin and demise is a mystery so far.
Do you have Morgans in your family from these areas, or have you followed any?
Regards,
tomoliver.
