Title: LEWIS, Albert John Turton Griffiths of FALMOUTH, Cornwall
Post by: phveens on Friday 21 September 12 00:34 BST (UK)
Greetings

I am looking for descendants or information about the family of Albert John Turton Griffiths LEWIS and his wife Susan LANGMAN. They had three children Edith LEWIS (b 1885), Albert E LEWIS (b 1887) and Florence LEWIS (b 1889). At the time of the 1891 Census they were living at Killigrew Street, Falmouth and Albert was an unemployed carpenter. I have been unable to find any more about them.

Thanks

Many thanks to you all. You have put the family together. I was hoping this would lead to some living descendants but they have been knocked off with one foul swoop!
Much obliged.

think Albert married in dec qtr 1936 to Marie L Williams.  Her death is registered in june qtr 1973 at Redruth, Marie Lilian Lewis born 29/12/1891 which ties in with the birth reg of Marie Lilian Williams march qtr 1892 Falmouth vol 5c pg 153.

Do you know what happened to the 2 sisters?

Thanks for the latest replies. Yes, both girls died unmarried. I'll now see if I can find any children for Albert.
Much obliged.
