Hi John, no not related just looked up for you. I looked up Price births with mmn Lewis and there were loads from the Pontypridd area, so bit of a needle in the haustack job I'm afraid.

Thankyou, I have also come across a needle in a haystack, the Lewis & the Jones have been a nightmare. I don't even know when my grandad died as far as I know sometiime in the 1960's and as yet know of no one in my Lewis family from Gelligaer.My dad never knew much about his father for he was a tiny boy when his parents seperated.Dad was killed during the war in 1943 so I had no one to ask the questions about the Lewis family.
