possible death from FREEBMD index

Deaths Dec 1936   (>99%)
Lewis    David    55    Bedwellty    11a   139        (Widow in Bedwelty UD 1939)


unfortunately there are 17 possibles in Glamorgan.   (per 1911) 

Until 1934 Galligaer was in MERTHYR TYDFIL registration district.  This reduces possibles to

Deaths Dec 1914   (>99%)
Lewis    David    32    Merthyr T    11a   860    

Deaths Mar 1924   (>99%)
Lewis    David W    42    Merthyr T.    11a   920

Deaths Mar 1933   (>99%)
Lewis    David W    52    Merthyr T    11a   1012

I can only see one Lewis child with mmn Norton b 1912 - which could suggest an early death
