Any record for Rees Lewis of Llanfairsbryn

[nestam3909]

 I would like to verify information about Rees Lewis ( b.  1806 ). farmer living on a farm in Llanfairbryn, Carmarthenshire with his wife Margaret ( I do not know her last name ). v I believe that he may be my great, great grandfather. His son John, my great grandfather and his son Evan Lewis of Glamorgan, my grandfarther and finally my father Ivor Lewis. The confusion come with the child of Rees and Margaret as Gwenllian. When I look up some sources they record the children as Mary, Margaret, Elizabeth, and John ( my great grandfather )...no Gwenllian. It seems I might be following the wrong Rees. I would appreciate any help you could give me on this matter. Thank you for your consideration. Nesta Morrison

Hi Nesta,

Have you found John on a census living with his father Rees Lewis? If so could you please post the details as it would help to know John's birthplace and birth year to help trace him back.

Hi looking at the family in 1851 with Gwenillian b c 1847 they had also an Evan 8 Rees 6 the same family in 1841 had a Mary 9 Margaret 6 Elizabeth 3 John 1, their is a possible Jane baptised 4th September 1845 Llansadwrn Father Lewis Mother Margaret?

Cannot locate as of yet a baptism for Gwenillian, but the likely marriage of Rees/Margaret is:-

Rees Lewis to Margaret Jones 21st April 1830 Llandingad by banns
they both made their mark, and the witnesses were David Price & Daniel Nicholas

Hi again, have been looking again for any baptism for Gwenillian but got sidetracked when I noticed what looks like a Rees Walters aged 2 Grandson with Rees/Margaret/Gwenllian in 1861 at Cwm Bowddar, Lladingat, Carmarthenshire Census ref RG09/4122/87/7, so to see if the 1841 family is indeed the same as the 1851, which of the daughters married a Walters? In 1871 he is aged 12 and now Rees Lewis Grandson RG10/5477/69/1
