Carmarthenshire Lookup Requests / Re: St Clears Carmarthenshire Early Census and pre Census

Just a thought
Griffth and Ann Lewis
1841 census
David 1819
Eliza 1823
Benjamin 1830
Martha 1833
Ann 1838
Griffith born 1777 Ann his wife 1782
Griffith married Ann December 1802 age 25 well they appeared to have waited a while before having David in 1819
However checking the I G I's I found Mary 1813 and Margaret 1826 it is more than likey there were earlier births, maybe a James.
ACCORDING TO THE I G I David, Eliza , Benjamin ,Margaret and Mary were definately their children But Martha and Ann could not have been, I wonder if they were their grandchildren.
Martha possibly married a Thomas her father could have been James an earlier son of Griffith Ann also a dau of James?

Griffith Lewis 1777 was the father of Eliza Lewis the grandmother of my parternal grandfather.
Eliza had a brother Benjamin 1824/30 as you say rounding of numbers often leads to confusion when trying to trace a relative.
I have not found Eliza or her son also Benjamin 1855 anywhere on the 1841 census, quite frustrating.

Yes his mother was Mary Bona from Carmathen not sure what happened there but Griffith changed his name to Lewis by 1901 and on his marriage certificate names his father as Benjamin. Benjamin I am sure was born in Carmarthen possibly St Peters.
A very complicated family!!! Mary Bona id not marry Benjamin as it appears Eliza was responsible for his upbringing.
