I think Lanvrechon and Lanvreola are modern day Llanfrechfa near Cwmbran (transcribed in the 1871 census as Cumbraes). All are in the Parliamentary constituency of Torfaen, South Wales.

My ancestor Sarah Morgan from Newland married John Phillips at Llanfrechfa on 10th September 1836. There were extensive tin, iron and coal mines nearby and hence the attraction to Forest of Dean miners. Amazingly, Sarah Morgan's gg grandfather William Morgan (bap 26th June 1704 Breem, Newland) was my ggggg father along a completely different line. A case of cross border in-breeding?

Can you tell me who the father of your George Morgan is? It is likely we are related through the Morgan line you can find on this excellent web site under Miscellaneous Documents (Thomas Morgan born circa 1645).

Chris Morgan.
