G'day everyone
I have been keeping a very low profile over the last year or so although
I still read the postings with interest. As is so often the case in
genealogy I need help to solve a problem. Quite by chance I came across
a reference to Sarah Ann Lewis which could be my great grandmother.
Let me make it clearer. I lost sight of her after the 1901 Census. She
is one of the numerous Lewis family from Pontypool who bore a son, my
grandfather. He was brought up as her brother as she was only 17 when he
was born and there were numerous siblings younger than her. A family
story has her marrying a wealthy, ex-military officer whose name has
never been mentioned. She was born about 1860 and the reference has a
Sarah Ann Lewis, spinster, late of Plasmont, Monmouthshire, who died on
21 October 1936. Her will was executed and a notice in the London
Gazette gives a date of 1 April 1937 for full probate. Is there a way in
which I can obtain a copy of her will? What I want to know is, first is
it my long-lost grandmother and second, if it is her, where had she
been all those years since 1916 when her son died, leaving a widow and
two sons? I know from my late father that they had a difficult childhood
and if family stories are correct she was a well off woman.
Can anyone help?
Regards
