Les
I have discovered that Jane w/o George Lewis from the family
I found remarried to a John Sainsbury 1865 and in 1871 living
with her and John were John Lewis born 1850, George Lewis
born abt 1854 and Susan Lewis abt 1856.
You say George Lewis emigrated in 1876 born Mamhilad 1857
where is he in 1871?

Hi Mike
Thanks for you info .George Lewis snr born about 1811 age 59 when died
1870
I have been searching for years but have not turned up any family George's
son Handel lived at alma st Abertillery up to death in 1914 I'm in touch
with his G/daughter age 88 Minnie Ada Lewis and her family but they do not
know any family details
Minnie lives at Chapel St Abertillery I was told by an aunty that George's
wife was a Jones and may be Jane
I'm following up any leads I may find but no hope to date
Thanks for you interest
