Hi Les, have we spoken before?
I have my Elizabeth SMITH married to a Joseph LEWIS, they came out to
Australia in 1878 on board the Highflyer and settled around Maryborough,
QLD. Elizabeth was born in Pontypool, as was her brother. Elizabeth was
born 1854, Joseph 1852. They had ten children, two of which, Hannah and
William, were born in Pontypool, Sarah Ann born on the trip there, and the
rest, Mary, Rachel, Daniel or David, Joseph, Thomas, another Joseph and
Edward were all born in Maryborough.
I am wondering if your William Henry could have been Joseph's brother. I
know LEWIS is a 'rare' name in Wales, but what the heck ! If you don't dig,
you can't show anything!
Regards Mick McAllister
