THOMAS    John        
THOMAS    Martha

WILLIAMS    Rees        

Would explain why the step children were called Thomas

Martha and first husband Thomas appear to have been living at Gellyhir in 1871

There's a possible for Lewis lodging in Griffithstown (Pontypool) in 1891. Born Llanvabon, loco engine fireman

A possibility in following years is a Lewis Thomas married to Nellie/Ellen living in Rock Terrace (Blackwood?)
1901 - b Argoed, coal hewer
1911 - b Bedwellty parish

His mother was a Jenkins

The address is actually Bryngwyn House

[Mabel Bagshawe]

Amelia - 1891. Main Road, Rock Bedwellty/Blackwood

Richard Morris    65 - grocer, widow
Evan J Morris    22
Bessie L Morris    21
Amelia Thomes    16 - b Llanfabon, niece. Draper's assistant

The connection appears to be with the Jenkins again. Evan's middle name is Jenkins, and Bessie's is Leah, the name of Amelia's maternal grandmother
