Hiya Listers,
I am trying to track my 3-g-grandmother from before she got married.
Sarah LEWIS was born about 1818 in Llanidloes. There is a possible listing in the IGI for
her being christened on 19th Jan 1819, Llanidloes, father Edward, mother Sarah.
She was married 10 Jan 1844 to Walter PHILLIPS in Llanwenarth Baptist Chapel, Govilon MON.
Her certificate lists her father as Edward LEWIS, a butcher. She was already living in
Blaenavon at this time.
I have her in the 1851c - 1891c with her family in Blaenavon. She died in 1895.
What I am trying to track is her family and of course herself before she was married. I do
not have much information to go on, but I thought I'd try on here, someone may
recognise the family.
I noticed in the 1871 census theres an Edward LEWIS, age 60, born in Llanidloes, who could
possibly be her brother.
I dont know how the 1841 census is indexed, but if SKS has access and I have given enough
information here to locate her or her father in the census that would be great. This is of
course assuming the family stayed in Llanidloes and hadnt moved south for work.
Thanks!!
Cheers,
Harrie.
PS My apologies to those of you who received this twice, I have posted to both the Powys
and Montgomery lists on rootsweb!
