Hello,
I am trying to find information regarding my great grandfather Richard
Lewis, born Nov. 8, 1844 in Radnorshire. He was the son of James and
Ann (Owens) Lewis. The father was a farmer and stock-grower, and dealt
largely in Hereford cattle.
Richard's mother died in 1846. There were 5 children born of this
union. James Lewis was subsequently married twice. Of the second and
third three children each.
Richard left for Quebec, Canada April 13, 1862. Later moved to
Nebraska, USA where he married Anna George, daughter of Edward and
Jane (James) George, formerly of Llinbister, Wales. The Georges left
Wales in 1855 settling first in Wisconsin,(USA) and later in Nebraska.
I have no idea which parishes the two families lived in but I would
welcome any help or suggestions.
Thank you,
Ellen McKanna
