Listers,
I am looking for connections to two families: LEWIS & TERRICK. My wife's
son-in-law's great grandfather is Howell Elvet LEWIS. Howell was born on 14 Apr 1860
in Y Gangell, Blaenycoed, Cynwyl Elfed, Carmathenshire, Wales. Howell was a famous bishop
of the Church of England, I believe. He wrote many Welsh hymns for the Church. I googled
his name and there are 790 hits.
My 4 x great grandmother was Elizabeth TERRICK. She was born in 1775 in Wales. I have no
idea where. I know that is like saying she was born in Ireland or Illinois. TERRICK does
not appear to be a common name from trying to search the name so far (It may end being as
common as Smith/Jones in the US). However, I thought I would put it out there and see what
happens.
Obviously, I don't do much Welsh research. My research is mainly in Ireland,
Lancashire, and Illinois. I have no knowledge of where to start on either case, although,
I have more on the LEWIS clan than the TERRICK clan, so any help would be greatly
appreciated.
