Subject: [BLAENAUGWENT] Maida LEWIS/GLASENBURY dau of George adopted?
Looking for information on, ancestors or descendants of Maida LEWIS,
my
grandmother.
I believe Maida was born 13 Mar 1909 (no birth record exists though) and
her father
was George LEWIS.
In 1930, when she married Thomas GLASENBURY, she was living at 128
Richmond Rd, Six Bells, Abertillery and George was a laundry van driver
(possibly for Abertillery Steam Laundry Co). She lived in Richmond Road but
also lived in Cardiff at times, having two children David and Mary/Jill,
until moving to London c1954.
There was a Hilda LEWIS as a witness at her wedding, together with Tudor
Davies and
Millicent Peterson
Maida may have been adopted (officially or otherwise) or there may just be
a
mistake in the records. If anyone can tell me anything, however
insignificant it seems, or suggest where I should go to try and find out
more I would really appreciate it.
One possibility is that George is George John b1880 Abertillery, son of
Isaac and
Sarah, sibling to Mary L, Herbert, Sarah E, William and Ellen M.
Would anyone researching LEWIS families in the area be prepared to share
their
trees with me please so that I can eliminate some of the many(!) LEWIS
families from my search?
Many thanks.
Helen
