Thomas LEWIS 1839 born Builth
« on: Saturday 18 December 10 06:54 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for a death of Thomas LEWIS born about 1839 in Builth.  He appears on the 1841, 1851 and 1861 Wales Census.  His parents were Charles and Mary (although in the 1851 Census it seems his father is referred to as John!).

He married Eliza Berry in 1860 in Abergavenny.  Thomas and Eliza appear on the 1861 Census living in Brecon.  I can't Thomas in any later Census records.  By 1871 Eliza (wife) was living with James Rowley (1871 Census) in Glamorgan.  She ended up marrying James Rowley in 1884 in Cardiff.  By this time they had had several children.  On the marriage certificate for Eliza and James Rowley it states that Eliza was a widow.  This means therefore that Thomas Lewis must have died sometime between 1861 and 1871. 

Can any one help in pinpointing the death please?  I have tried searching on Ancestry, but haven't seen anything that looks like a match. I would like to send for a certificate if I have a fair idea of which Thomas Lewis. 

Most grateful for any help.   Fay
