Thanks Dave,You are very kind ,my Grandparents had 3sons,ivor lewis,joseph lewis & mervyn lewis,2daughters,irene lewis,my mother muriel,lorraine lewis,she was the youngest born 30th july 1915.my grandfather Joseph was a stonemason when younger,My grandmother Margaret was a local "Goosegirl", LOL, She used to walk the geese to the local market.(Staff included). This is when my grandfather caught sight of her(both young)and fell in love with her,she was called a "wonderous sight to behold" with such rare beauty,as told to me from my mum deceased now.i know this would be of no value,but has intrigued me all my life.had to share it with you.thanx for your kindness, regards,gillx.

Hi Gillian
this may be your family on 31 Mar 1901, just before Joseph married Margaret A/J 1901, Neath

LEWIS, Joseph Head Married M 65 1836 Coal Miner Neath Glamorganshire
LEWIS, Eve Wife Married F 60 1841 Neath Glamorganshire
LEWIS, Mary J Daughter Single F 20 1881 Neath Glamorganshire
LEWIS, Joseph Son Single M 19 1882 Coal Miner Neath Glamorganshire
LEWIS, Thomas J Son M 14 1887 Neath Glamorganshire
HOPKINS, William J Grand Son M 2 1899 Neath Glamorganshire

RG number: RG13
Piece: 5055
Folio: 162
Page: 42

Sub District: Neath
Enumeration District: 32
Ecclesiastical Parish: Neath with Llantwit

Civil Parish: Lantwit Lower
Address: 7, Evan's Road, Lantwit Lower, Llantwit Lower
County: Glamorganshire

I could not find Mervyns birth. In the first 10 years of their marriage they had 4 children, 1 died - I expect as you did not name him, it may have been William. This means Mervyn was born between 1909 and 1915, did he have a 2nd name?
