@raymorgan1 Morgan is a relatively frequently found name. Have you built up the family tree leading to William Morgan in FamilySearch? Downpatrick isn't a large town but its hard to comment with so little information.
If you can give us the FamilySearch reference number for William, I am certain someone will be able to assist or guide you.

There is a VERY good website for County Down with masses of information and research. A very innocuous web address but dont let that put you off. This is well worth a look at. Although its County Down, Downpatrick is of course in County Down. Have a look, see if its any use.

Also there is a Facebook group although I have never looked at this but again it may be worth looking into. https://m.facebook.com/groups/151932828722176?bac=MTYxNjEwMzMwNTo4NjAyMjQxNDEyMjYzNzE6ODYwMjI0MTQxMjI2MzcxLDAsMDoyMDpLdz09&multi_permalinks&paipv=0

@raymorgan1 it has been a few days since you posed your question re the MORGAN family of Downpatrick. We were wondering if you felt your query had been dealt with appropriately, or if there was something that we could do , or have done better.
It is of note that the surname Morgan was fairly common in County Down in the Griffiths Valuation (circa 1860). In addition to the suggestions above a cursory search of Ancestry has revealed the following link which may or may not have some relevance to your search. Indeed you may be aware of this record already .
Name: William Morgan
Gender: Male
Marital Status: Single
Age: 22
Birth Date:1841
Marriage Date: 08 May 1863

There are a number of marriages for a William MORGAN to be found on the various repositories , and each would need to be scrutinised as to its veracity and relevance to your question .
