My info is that Thomas' wife Elizabeth on 1841 Census is with their daughter Elizabeth Treharne at Llannon. Elizabeth (wife) died btwn 1841 & 1851 as Thomas is a Widower living with another daughter Ann Bowen at Old Gate, Llanelly on 1851 Census.
Thomas states age 78 born Llanllawddog, Carmarthenshire.
Trying to establish where Thomas was on 1841 Census. Married 1799 St.Elli, Llanelly to Elizabeth Bowen.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks Catherine, Griffiths and Jenkins seem to be family names so will have to check this 1841 Census. Looks like it could be the Thomas Lewis I am looking for.
This family seemed to move around and with such a common name as Lewis it is hard going but who said Family History was easy. Only on WDTYA.
Many thanks for help.
