The John Lewis whose info is above had a wife Mary (Phillips)

Her address is given as 15, Old Castle Rd, Llanelly

They married 19/07/1913 in Llanelly.

Their son David Elwyn was born 29/12/1913

Does this match what you know about the man?

I imagine not................as you don't know whether they served, and if they did, whether they died.

We can't go any further until more accurate info is provided

There are numerous William Lewises born c1900 in Carms, and Johns born c1894.............we need more specific info, please, Leah.

Were they brothers?

Who were their parents?

In which TOWN were they born?

???

I used to live in a road called Llancaiach Road before I was married - so glad to leave there cos got sick to death of spelling it to people - Welsh people at that!!!

Yep, quite an echo Ann! I think copy & paste was invented because of Welsh place names ...
