Brick Wall might have been Solved....
Since there was no other Lewis's in the burial register, it was suggested that Richard Lewis could be in his wife's family grave.
His wife to be was Mary Beavan and looking through the burial register there was a William Beavan who died in 1847. I looked at the 1841 Census and found a William, Sarah and Mary Beavan in Oxford Street, Swansea and they weren't born in that county.
On Find My Past, I created the Family Tree and added what I knew and it gave quite a number of hints. It turns out that these were the correct people I was looking for as William's father was Lawrence Crew Beavan, Gentleman and from London.
I had a look in the old newspapers and it gave William as a Spirit Merchant, Swansea and when he died he was a Spirit Merchant in Llandeilo on Carmarthen Street. His sister Mary Lewis now married was living on Carmarthen Street with her other sister Elizabeth Beavan.
So after thinking on my part that the family grave was for Lewis's as 2 surnames were mentioned was totally wrong but I would still like to see what the full inscription was in case there are other people buried there or just remembered as in a memorial to that person. The inscription would also prove who's grave it is but it is hard to read.
On to another grave that has a partial inscription and again only got some first names near the top and some full names at the bottom. I should tackle this one in the same way and not assume it's for what other family names appear.
Thanks for looking.
