Hello all
I am new to the list and am looking for a little help tracing an ancestor. David Lewis was
not from the area but was born in Llandyfodwg (Bridgend) however his wife appears to be
from Mynyddislwyn and all his children were born there. I have failed to find birth info
for any of them (parents or children) or a marriage cert. I possibly have a birth cert for
one daughter, but as it does not state fathers name I cannot be sure.
I have provided the families details below, what I would like to know is - does anyone
have access to the 1851/41 census to see if the family is there or if Mary is there (if
the birth cert is right her maiden name is Roberts) Or baptism records for the children in
Mynyddislwyn. Alternatively as I live in Monmouth, does anyone know if they are
accessible locally. I would be really grateful for any help as this family have hit a
brick wall for me and I would love to know more about them.
