Lewis Brynmawr
« on: Saturday 25 August 12 17:14 BST (UK) »
I am trying to trace May Lewis in the 1911 census. She had no other names May was her only christian name.  I believe she was born in Brynmawr in 1904, she had a brother and I think his name was Ernest.  Her mother died when May was quite young.  She married Harry Wilkins in 1929 in Cardiff.  I have searched the census records and can find no trace of her.  I would appreciate any help.
Regards

Thanks so much, I could not find them, I was convinced May's brother was Ernest but now know that he was Williams son.  Thanks for the 1891 infom, I have something to go by now
