Hello Gaynor,
I have had a look at the 1841 Rads Census but neither Evan or Lewis are on
it .There are other Merediths on it though in Clyro so if you want them
later let me know.
My families , Chambers,Prosser Probert,and Jones go back pre1700 in Clyro
.When you find Lewis mother`s name let me know as I know a number of other
people with Clyro links too .
My 2x great -grandfather Walter Chambers married in Merthyr in 1843.He also
came from the Clyro area and is missing from the 1841 Census although he is
on the Merthyr 1851 seems there are a lot of names missing from that census.
Sorry I can`t be more help . Keep in touch,
Jill.

Hello Jill
My grt grt grandfather lewis Meredith was born in Clyro on May 4th
1835.His
father Evan Meredith was also from the area born in 1802. I have
information
on Lewis and his family because my aunt has the family bible.Before
1861 I
do
not have anything.
In 1861 Lewis and family were at James James Houses in Crickhowell, in
1881
they were in Ystradfodwg,after 1881 the family lived in Nelson
Glamorgan
and
then Lewis and Hannah his wife moved to Brynmawr.Lewis died in 1888.
Lewis married Hannah Ray of Pontypool in 1859 at Llanelly parish church.
Their children were-
James meredith b 1858 ?
Lewis Willim meredith b 1861 Brynmawr
Moses b1865 Abertillery
William b 1865 Abertillery
Mary Ann Meredith b 1869 Abertillery
Naomi b 1870 Beufort Hill Brecon
Mary Jane b 1872 Llantrisant Glam - My grt grandmother
Elizabeth b 1873 Llantrisant
Elias b 1877 Ystradfodwg
Catherine Ann b 1877 Ystradfodwg
I do not know who Lewis's mother was but I am going to check the parish
records in the LDS church in merthyr Tydfil in a few weeks.On the IGI it
only
gives
Evan as father no mother's name.
All the best Gaynor
