Gildus or Gildas Lewis Pontypridd area born 1901 or 1902
« on: Wednesday 29 October 14 15:31 GMT (UK) »
Hi Would someone be able to look into the Gildus/Gildas Lewis.

I would be interested in the 1901 and 1911 census to see the family if possible

Many thanks for any help

Hi,

Is this the death record for Gildus Lewis?  -

Gildus Lewis
Birth Date - 14 Jun 1901
Date of Registration - Jun 1969
Age at Death - 68
Rochford, Essex
Vol 4a Page 2021

If the above is correct then you will not find him on the 1901 as that was taken on 31 March 1901 and Gidus was not born until 14 June 1901.  :)

Unfortunately we are unable to conduct 1911 lookups (RootsChat policy)

Gildus was born in Pontypridd registration district after the census
It's the 1901 Jul/Aug/Sept quarter, which would tue in with the death record JJ found

Having found the family on the 1911 census I believe this is the family in 1901, before his birth
123 Dumfries Street, in Treorchy (comes under the Pontypridd registration district)
Parents
Thomas Lewis, aged 47 - a coal hewer from Cardigan
Elizabeth Lewis, aged 42 - from Aberdare
Children (all born Treorchy)
Isacc - aged 24 (coal hewer)
William - aged 22 (coal hewer)
Mary - aged 17 (dressmaker)
Leyshon - aged 14 (coal hewer)
Olwen - aged 12
Gertrude - aged 10
John Alfred - aged 8
Margaret E - aged 5
Annie J - aged 2
