Trying to find the birth details of Ann Lewis (born c1848). On her marriage certificate to George Carey (1842-1923) her father is mentioned as being Lewis Lewis (deceased) but cannot find marriage for him. Her mother's name was Johanna (born c1830) who married Edward Pugh after Lewis Lewis died. I would be grateful for any information as I am trying to trace my maternal line. This is my brick wall.

So could this be Lewis Lewis and Johanna in 1851 - living at Rlm Abbernant, Bedwellty, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire but no daughter Ann :-\

Hi Kay, thank you for replying and have added that to my tree. However, cannot find their marriage and Johanna seems to disappear from census records until after she married Edward Pugh. Cannot even find her 2nd marriage record. Also, you correctly point out that Ann is not with them in 1851. Quite a mystery. They may have been non conformist although have checked records available on Ancestry.

Possible marriage
Marriages Jun Q 1850 Same page as others
Davies Johanna Abergavenny 26 5
Lewis Lewis Abergavenny 26 5
Edward Pugh still with first wife in 1871 with youngest son Llewellyn. Johanna with him 1881/1891, not finding a marriage in area, maybe they did not.
There is also a bapt for Joan Davies 1830, which could be a possible - parents William & Mary.

Sadly I think the 1850 marriage is between Johanna Davies and Thomas Williams https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KCT5-LYW Could Johanna have reverted to her maiden name when Lewis died??
