Lewis Family Llangunnor *COMPLETE*

[Morganllan]

Hello

I am interested in Jonah and Mary Lewis who were at Newcwm Cottage, Llangunnor, Carmarthen in 1881.

RG11 Piece 5393 Folio 5 Page 3

Jonah was born in St Clears c1825 and Mary was born in Newchurch c1821. Would like to find out more about their families.

Many thanks 
Morgan

Back of Newcwm Llangannor
Jonah 27 labourer born Llanfihangel
Mary 29 born New church
Hannah 3
David 8 months
both children born Llangannor.

I can't see them as yet in 1861. I did take a look at the 1891 and the most likely Jonah is in a home aged 70 with birth place Llangihangel.  There is a Mary with a son in law and dau emily but i can't find Jonah and mary wit a dau Emily.
More searching to be done.

Thanks crisane,

1851 helps as it suggests that Jonah was born in Llanfihangel Abercywyn

so I would need to find him in the OPR there.

There are 3 possible candidates for Jonah in 1841 so not much help. Who would have thought there would be so many Jonah Lewis's.

I'll have to leave this for now.

OK, thanks crisane

Hi Morgan, working on the 1851 census, this looks like the marriage of Jonah and Mary:-

Jonah Lewis to Mary Jones March 1846 Camarthen v26 page 686

Not much, but best of luck with her side of the family!

I took another look at the 1841 census.
There are three to choose from. One I discounted because he was living in Kidwelty Pembrey district with two other boys and was a male servant. And the 1851 census is no help because there is only your Jonas and looking on FreeBMD for Jonah Lewis deaths turns up half a dozen!
These are the two contenders in 1841
