Welcome to Rootschat, Trent.

As per RC policy you are unable to mention the names of the living, so you will need to remove all of that information from your post, please.

Hi Trent

Welcome to Rootchat 

RootsChat is meant for finding ancestors, rather than living relatives and we have a clearly defined ' no living people' policy. Please take a moment to read our guidelines for posting

Personal details of any people known or thought to be living will be removed, in accordance with RootsChat policy, to avoid spamming and other abuses. So people here will be able to give you general tips and hints how to proceed, but not any concrete details.

You can also search recent electoral register entries online here

https://www.searchelectoralroll.co.uk/Electoral_Roll_Search.asp

and cross check here

www.192.com

but you have to pay to view the results

However since 2002 people have had the choice to opt out of the ones that are sold to marketing companies etc so they may not be included.

There is one person listed (the oldest in the names your originally posted) but they may not be the one you seek, he is the one at Telekibir Road. The other 3 in the list of results at 192.com do not have the same first name.

If you can reply to this message, we can the correspond by personal message and I might be able to help further but you weren't specific enough with the names and ages you posted and Lewis is a fairly common surname.

There are a lot of Lewis in Ponty - my husband's family is connected with a lot of the - more Treforest and Rhydyfelin end rather than Hopkinstown (saw someone mention Telekebir Road), can't send you a PM but if you post a few more times send me the details and I'll see if its the family I know

[trentwanganui]

The parents are George and Olwyn Lewis, nee Morgan from Pontypridd, Wales and they are deceased. George was an electrician, he had his own business. He also had an investment in a seaside resort which was started with friend s after the Second World War. Olwyn was a doctors receptionist. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, I can't find a marriage for them in the marriage index so the names you know them as may not have been the names they were 'officially' known as.

However there are still a few Lewis/Morgan births in the index that could refer to the family you search even limiting the search to the Pontypridd area.

I'm using www.freebmd.org.uk to search.

I did post this hint in my previous reply

If the names weren't so frequently occuring in the indexes, it might have been possible to find deaths for them and then work backwards.

Could this be the marriage

I'm also looking for the family of a George (Edward) Lewis 1912(?) - 1980.  Born somewhere in Wales, probably Glamorgan area, died in Reading, Berkshire.  However, he was a GWR railwayman, not an electrician.   Research seems to indicate a previous marriage to a Ms. Duerkop, before he married my grandmother.

I also remember pictures of (but not the person) "Granny Morgan", who was some relative I was too young to remember.

Not sure it's your Lewis, however, as there are a few differences.  He had a daughter, Ro****y, from his previous marriage.

Best of luck with your search.
