Lisa,
Sorry I don't think I can be of any help. My great grandmother ,Mary Thomas, I believe
was born in St Clears around 1800 and married my great grandfather Francis Francis, a
cordwainer. They lived in Quay Row, St Clears and after children grew up moved to Neath. I
have not been able to trace any of her family history or that of my great grandfather thus
far.
Good luck with your research
Ann

Subject: [CMN-L]Mary Lewis
My 2nd great grandmother marries William Harvey on 10h October 1865 in Bristol. On their
marriage certificate her father is given as Rees Thomas, and his occupation is given as
ships carpenter.
In the 1871 census her age is given as 40 and place of birth Carmarthen, Wales.
I have found a baptism for “Harriett Thomas or Lewis” in St Peter, Carmarthen on 23rd Dec
1831, birth date 8th December 1831, and with parents Mary Lewis and Rees Thomas, which
would seem to suggest they weren’t married.
I’ve not been able to find a subsequent marriage for them, or any reference to a Rees
Thomas in or around Carmarthen who is a ships carpenter.
There are a couple of earlier census refs which might be Harriett
1841, in St Ishmael with David and Elizabeth Thomas, Harriett aged 12 and described as
lodger HO107/1385/2/8/9
1851 22 year old Harriet (described as Nephew!), with 78 year old widowed Elizabeth Thomas
(cord wainers wife, on parish relief). Harriet’s occupation is gathering coals (or
possibly cocks).
How do I identify the correct Rees Thomas and Mary Lewis who are Harriet’s parents? There
are several Mary Lewis in censuses in Carmarthen, but I can’t positively identify her.
There is a Rees Thomas, variously described as a chemist, landed proprietor and landowner,
born 1801, but not a ships carpenter.
If anyone can help, I’d appreciate it. I’ve been struggling with them for years!
