Thomas Lewis was born in 1876 somewhere in South Wales. He worked in the copperworks in Swansea and lived in the Hafod with his wife Flora and their sons Herbert and Austen. His father George was a plate layer. I would be grateful for any imformation or help with this search. Marylyn

Thanks Kathleen, I did find this census but try as I might I cannot find both THomas and his father George together on the 1881 census so I am wondering if there was a mistake on the part of the person who took the census. But thank you anyway.
