Lewis Family

[white lion]

I am a beginner to rootschat though I have been working on my family tree for sometime.

So if anyone has information on the family before John Lewis born in 1813 I would be very interested

I have tracked my family back to Maiden Newton in Dorset but then, I cannot find Lewis's further back.


I have found links to the Lacey, Fone, Groves and Buckler families.

Fone was interesting as my great-grandmother is shown on my grandmothers birthcert. as Sophia Vawn.

Of course I thought this was an error meaning Vaughn but no, my wife checked all the Sophia's born in  Maiden newton and found the Fone family in parish records..

I think it makes sense if you say Fone with a dorset accent.

All part of the reality of hunting family history.

Hi White Lion, welcome to Rootschat
i am sure we can help you with JOhn lewis (or attempt to) but we need to know what you already know first.

John Lewis b. 1813 where?
do you know his parents names?
