Yes his mother was Mary Bona from Carmathen not sure what happened there but Griffith changed his name to Lewis by 1901 and on his marriage certificate names his father as Benjamin. Benjamin I am sure was born in Carmarthen possibly St Peters.
A very complicated family!!! Mary Bona id not marry Benjamin as it appears Eliza was responsible for his upbringing.

Do you think they could have been in a work house or something like that

is the 1861 census complete as I wondered if that is why I cannot find Eliza and Benjamin?
