Any help would be appreciate in learning more about the ancestors of my
gggrandparents John LEWIS, and Mary and Sarah THOMAS who were born in
Abergwilly, Carmarthanshire.
Sarah THOMAS (my gggrandmother) born in Abergwilli born about 1810
married John GRIFFITHS of Llanarthney, Carmarthanshire and lived in
Llanarthney area. In the 1841 census, John and Sarah were living with
David LODWIG who is 80 years old on the LODWIG farm In the 1851, 1861,
1871, 1881 Census, Sarah THOMAS and John GRIFFITHS continue to live on
the LODWIG farm with their children, Elizabeth, David, Evan, John. This
son, my ggrandfather John GRIFFITHS married Eliza EDWARDS in Merthyr

iron industry) My grandmother, Sarah GRIFFITHS was born in Merthyr
