I assume that Dame Street Carmarthen no longer exists, but would be grateful if someone could tell me roughly where it was in relation to surviving landmarks, and when it ceased to exist.....

Hi. My great grandfather was Lewis Morgan born 1859, shoemaker. I know he had brothers Richard b1854(well known author of Welsh language Nat Hist books for children back in the late 19th C and for many years schoolmaster at Llanarmon, Mold), John, 1862, Evan Lewis (1864). I believe their parents were Thomas, born 1827 and Anne 1821 and that Thomas started his working life as some sort of miner (?lead or copper) before becoming a shoemaker himself. I'm fairly certain that Thomas' parents were Richard and Winifred.
In the 1871 census Lewis is living in Talybont, where he was born, with his family. In the 1891 census there is a Thomas Morgan, widower, lead miner aged 65, living in the village with his spinster daughter Catherine, 34. By 1911 a Thomas-shoemaker, now 83, is living with his son John aged 49. It says that Thomas had been married for 48 years- so he probably isn't the one who was widowed in 1891 (if accurate would mean he was married around 1843!). BUT it also says that he had '5 children, 4 living'. The possibility of a daughter who grew up but died in her 30s/40s would make sense of of family stories... Lewis and HIS wife and children are living in a separate household, also in Talybont in 1891 & 1901.
ALSO- would like to know if there are any descendants of John or Evan out there. Think it is possible that Evan became a butcher, or kept a shop of some sort- perhaps eventually in Llandyrnog.
