KEAR MORGAN connection (reply)

I am interested in the Henry and Charles Morgan listed. My GG-Grandfather was a Henry Morgan. I have him marrying a Mary Kear at St.Briavels in 1861. He was then aged 21 so born 1839/40. Mary was aged 18
Witnesses were Charles Morgan and Elizabeth Kear. Henry's father was William an Mary's John.
Is there a connection?

thanks Christine

I have looked at the original documents and it appears henry MORGAN was put with the wrong family. He is the only member of his family to be carried over to the next page of the census where the other william and sarah MORGAN are . It must follow that it was his sister louisa who married peter KEAR and I also discovered that his other sister sarah married a richard KEAR in 1851 but she had died by 1856. FREDA
