Dear Lloyd
Am wondering if you have any information on my Lewis line:
Do you have any information on an Elizabeth Lewis marrying John Hobby in
1816, Boughrood, Radnor, Wales - at least three children - Howell b. c.1829,
Elizabeth b. c.1830 and Thomas (my gr-grandfather) b. c.1832. According to
the 1841 census they were living at Tynybanal, John 55, Elizabeth 40, but no
mention of Thomas who would have been about 9 so I may have the wrong
family.
Many thanks, kind regards
Liz Newcombe
Canberra, Australia.
