Hello Listers,
The following are details of the Burial Register at Merthyr Tydfil
concerning a LEWIS family. I thought that they may have belonged to my line
of research but now I'm not sure. Perhaps some other researcher might claim
them !

I am personally researching a James LEWIS , son of William LEWIS. Both coal
miners who at one time lived at Plymouth Street ; Duffryn ; Abercanaid
and possibly Merthyr Vale. James married Jennet WILLIAMS in 1880 and my
grandfather James LEWIS was born to them in 1891 at Abercanaid.
I Hope the burial info. helps someone.
