These Morgans, came to Glascoed to farm at one or more of the Wernhir farms. most likely in the 1830s.

At the time of the 1841 census, Charles Morgan (aged “40”) and his wife Elizabeth (also aged “40” - ages were rounded up or down on this census) were farming at “Little Wernhir”. Their son, Henry “aged 10” was also there.

By 1851, the same characters were there - Charles, “aged 55”, Elizabeth, “aged 43” and Henry “aged 21”. Charles was noted as being born in Caldicot, Monmouthshire, Elizabeth, born at “Claudock (Clodock), Herefordshire and Henry at Llandenny, Monmouthshire.

By 1861, Charles had died, leaving his widow, Elizabeth to continue with the farm with the assistance of Henry possibly her 16 year old grandson, Charles Henry Morgan (though he was listed as a scholar) and a farm servant by the name of William Lewis. Other help would have been enlisted for the farm on occasion, as was the custom. It appears that Henry got himself into a bit of trouble from time to time, as you will see by looking at his page! In his defence, he had recently been bereaved.
