Thomas Henry Lewis born around 1870,lived in Penarth near Cardiff.
I believe there were brothers,all engineers/inventors and a sister who ran a school in Penarth. Thomas Henry went on to marry Alberta Crisp and they lived in Richmond ,England.
Does anyone have any information on this family?
I would be delighted to hear ,
Michele Martin (nee Lewis)

Lewis in Wales will be a tough one. I'm in Cardiff by the way and went to Grammar School in Penarth!! There was a private school there - think it was called St Alma's
