do you have their marriage certificate? If so, what is his father's name?  If not, you need to get it to find out his father's details
John Lewis dec qtr 1872 Newport vol 11a pg 439 with Mary Powell on the same page.

I can see a possible in 1861 for John

James Lewis head mar 37 toll collector b. Carmarthenshire, Wales
Caroline wife 40 b. Somerset

This birth reg would fit with twins being registered St Clears

Caroline gives her place of birth as Chelwood in other census years and is living with daughter Martha in 1901 in Barry, Glamorgan. Martha married John James Horner june qtr 1872 Bristol vol 6a pg 190.
