Mary Maria Lewis b 1859 Cardiff

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

David Report 3 Oct 2008 15:21

I am trying to find the family of Mary Maria Lewis. She was born Cardiff 1859 Jul-Aug-Sep Volume 11a Page 234.

She married Alfred Luker 7th July 1878 Cardiff Jul-Aug-Sep Vol 11a Page 310.

The marriage certificate states that her father was Edward Lewis (deceased) Draper. One of the witnesses was a Daniel Lewis, a brother or uncle I assume!

I can find no other record of the Lewis family in census returns etc. I would love to find her mother and any other relatives. Can anyone help me please?

Thank you in advance,

David

Sarah Lewis is unmarried and I'm guessing that Mary Lewis is her daughter - but middle initial doesn't match

Hello to you all,

Thanks for all your help. I am still working my way through it all, but your information is invaluable to me.

Paul who found Mary Maria burial index, my family still live in Courtney Road, Splott!

I am still a bit confused as there appears to be another Alfred Luker who was born in Crowmarsh Gifford 1846 and married a Jemima Tubb. The two seem to keep getting mixed up. I will sort it out one day though.

Thank you all,

David
