Hello again Mabel
Thank you for the details. Since posting the requests-William Lewis and Penallta farm-I have unearthed a newspaper snippet. "In 1937, Mr & Mrs William Lewis celebrated their Golden Wedding. The newspaper snippet said "Mr Lewis is 84 and Mrs Lewis is 77. They were married at the Old Cefn Hengoed Chapel on June 14, 1887." I would appreciate a look-up on the 1871 please.
Kind Regards
Roy
