Hi Edna,
The entry in the Nantmel Parish register is as follows:
#162. September 12 1856
David Lewis, Full age, Bachelor, Servant, Penrhosfach,
Mother, Jane Lewis.
Anne Lewis, Full age, Spinster, Servant, Bailey Noyadd,
Father, Thomas Lewis, Labourer.
The registers were on display today in Rhayader Parish Church as part of the
'Carnival Week' celebrations.
I'll try and find some more details for you in the next week or two as soon
as I can get to the Archives to check the Llanddewi Ystradenni records.
Why do you think that D.L.Coates and the above are the same person? This
will help in sorting out the relations.
There is only one Coates family in the 1841 census for Radnorshire as
follows:
COATES, Ellen Sarah, 17, Y, Broad Street, PR/f12/p17
COATES, Emma, 20, Y, Broad Street, PR/f12/p17
COATES, Emma, 45, No, Broad Street, PR/f12/p17
COATES, Mary Eliza, 15, Y, Broad Street, PR/f12/p17
COATES, Thomas, 50, Linen Draper, No, Broad Street, PR/f12/p17
COATES, William Henry, 4, Y, Broad Street, PR/f12/p17
Look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Lloyd

Subject: Lewis-Coates
I may have posted this before,but since I'm still
looking,I thought I'd try again.
David Lewis born 1826 in Llanddewi Ystradenny, mother
Jane Lewis.May be illigitimate. No father listed on
marriage cert.
Married Anne Lewis,dau of Thomas Lewis,Sept,1856 at St
Cynllo Church,Nantmel.
In 1861 census David lists hiself as David Lewis
Coates. He was working as a horse breaker in St
Harmons at the time.Same census Anne lists herself as
Lewis,living in Nantmel.
In 1881 they are all together in Trefeglwys Mtg. All
listed as Coates.
Children born in Rad were David,Mary Ann,John and
Pryce. Children born in Mtg were
William,Elinor,Thomas,Paice and Sarah.
I am trying to find more info on David's mother Jane
and Anne's father Thomas.
Also looking for some direction to find David's
father.Was he a Coates? Is that why he changed his
name? Would he have had to take legal steps to do
this,or could he just change it on his own?
Thank you in advance for any help,no matter how
little, you can give me.

Geneologists never grow old. They just lose their census.
