Thank you, Slowhands & Jeff,
I think the migration theory is plausible.
I have checked the parish records on FMP- no trace on any BMDs even with name alternatives. Have also searched non-conformist-no trace. But then, people did not have to register events in those days.
The only tantalising trace of Stephen is a marriage in Monmouth to a Sarah Emery 1799

and he had a daughter Sarah, born 1799. Would militia men have their families in barracks with them as they travelled?
I think this is yet another of my Welsh genealogical conundrums that will remain unresolved-but thank you for all your help.
If either would like copies of the CP records, please send me a message with your email, and I will email these on.
