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
