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.
