Hi Roy

Looked for the executor of the will - Henry Lewis Rail Straightener and found this 1851 .....

H0107 2457 240 6 - living in Gelligaer
Henry Lewis Head 39 mar Rail Straightener Pembrokeshire
Caroline wife 43 Breconshire
Martha daugh 7 Glamorganshire
Margaret daugh 6 Glamorganshire
Owen son 2 Glamorganshire

Just in case you will also find them at 1861 RG9 4045 23 1 living in Gelligaer with an extra child Samuel 7 Glamorganshire and in still in Gelligaer in 1871 RG10 5387 38 30 but now on there own ..... I think Henry married a Caroline Gethin in the Neath District in 1839 ....

I believe I have found him in 1841 H0107 1414 Bk7 F37 Pg11 living in Gelligaer .....

Henry Lewis 25 Lab
Caroline 25
Samuel Lewis 60 Ind
Richard 25 Lab
George 20 Lab
Daniel Davies 25 Lab
All listed as not born in County

Looking for Richard in 1851 I think he is here H0107 2457 251 13 living in Gelligaer ... hamlet Garthgynud?

William Higon mar 50 Fishguard Pembs ... occupation Boaler?
Rachel wife 25 Glam Gelligaer Boalers wife
David 28 Lodger unmar Fishguard Pembs Boaler
Richard Lewis 35 Lodger unmar Fishguard Boaler

Then a marriage in Gelligaer in 1851 Dec 1st.......
Richard Lewis of full age Bachelor occupation Bowler?? .. Pontlottyn .. Father Samuel Lewis Farmer
Jane Llewellyn of full age Widow .. Pontlottyn .. Father Christmas Davies Lab

So 1851 ....... H0107 2457 212 18 .. Gelligaer
Jane Llewellin Head widow 52 LLandysyll Cardiganshire  Annuitant
Mary Jones servant unmar 19 Llandysyll Cardiganshire
Evan Davies visitor unmar 31 Llanthystyd Cardiganshire
David Jones visitor mar 40 Llanllwni? Caernarfonshire Calvanistic ? Preacher

Nothing for 1861?? And finally ............ 1871 RG10 5387 86 31 - Parish Gelligaer - Hamlet Brithdir

Jane Lewis Head widow 73 Cardigan Llandysil Retired Farmers wife
James Davies widow Brother Cardigan Llandysil Labourer in Ironworks?
Mary Dyke servant 16 Aberdare Glamorganshire

I cannot find Jane in 1881 and have struggled to find an obvious death ........

Hi Nigel

Not sure whether you have this but there is a will for a "Farmer Jackson Pant-teg Monmouthshire 1785" on The National Library of Wales site that maybe worth a look …………..

Hi Anne

Sorry at first glance it looked like a 3 but having looked again I think it could be an 8 … she is Mary Ann in 1851 (H0107 1922 261 41 Civil Parish North Curry) and her age is 19 ……
