Margaret Lewis 1830

Linda Report 8 Jun 2010 21:35

Hello everyone, looking for help please to find my gt/gt/grandmother Margaret Lewis .According to all census since 1861 she was born abt 1830 in Rhymney or Ebbw Vale South Wales She had two children, Ann abt 1858 and Miles 1861.They had different fathers on their baptism certificates and neither was a Lewis, but both children were registered as Lewis. I believed Margaret had never married but her death certificate says she was the widow of Isaac Lewis a colliery contractor. I am now wondering if she was widowed young and perhaps also lost a child as 28 was quite old to have a first child.
I have tried to find a marriage but no luck.Perhaps someone has Isaac in their tree or you may have some good advice for me .Keeping my fingers crossed. Many thanks.
Linda.
