Thanks Fred.
From the information that Slowhands posted he is an adopted son. How that came about Monmouth to Walford I really haven't a clue. He hasn't the name of his adoptive parents so probably wasn't a legal adoption? Especially in the 1830's.
I am thinking that perhaps he was illegitimate but why he was taken to Walford Herefordshire, I think will be hard to find.
I will try and find info on the names you have given me to see if there is any connection as his birth was before BMD registration.
Many thanks
