Yes i tried the birth their were around 20 William John Lewis born 1908 in Wales.



Rob

oh and Dinas is Glamorgan.

Glamorgan is a COUNTY...............which town?

Sorry also just looking at a later from my dad he seems to think William had the following siblings Sehran and Matthew.

Rob

I think its Neath any Welsh people on here know ?.

Sehran is likely to be Sarah Ann. My father had an aunt in Wales called Sarah Ann, but when speaking of her, ran the two names together.

Would that be Sarah Ann........

I think i will have to pick my dads brain more. As Flick says above i really need the birth cert but their are so many Williams born in 1908 i need something to narrow it down.

thanks for those 1911 census Maddie & Pollypoppet im just not sure if its them or not. :-S


Rob

Dinas is a village near Tonypandy in the county borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales

Thank you Adeline i was struggling :-D

My dad puts in his letter regarding the part for William.

Your grandfather william john lewis im sure was not an only child,but after his death we had virtually nothing to do with that side of the family,but i think he had a brother Matthew and a sister Sehran(dont know if ive got the spelling correct but phoeneticley its right). Both your grandfathers and grandfather were colliers or coalhewers as they were recorded in those days.

The family found in 1911 in Porth by Maddie could be the family you are searching for. You mentioned Dinas Road and there is a Dinas Road in Porth.

Hi Adeline

Yes it says on William's marriage certificate his living their but thats in 1932 so maybe they lived their along time but im not sure of their movements.

Im just really unsure and confused :-S

I will write my dad and see if their is anything no matter how small that may help.

And thank you for the help on the area's in Wales.

Rob

:-D

I am also looking for a lewis family from Talgarth. I know ellen jane lewis was born in 1882 and married a joseph stephens. However, I would like to know more about ellen janes parents as I think they may have had a connection to talgarth mill. Any help would be appreciated!
