My G.Grandmother MARTHA LEWIS was 3 x married, 3 x widowed and had nine children. She was born in Whitchurch Pembs. 1865 and died in Caerau, Bridged Glamorgan in 1927.
Husband No. 1 was Jonah WILLIAM DAVIES b. Neath 1863 d. Wigan 1893. MARTHA LEWIS and JONAH W. DAVIES were married in Swansea in 1887. Their three children were MARY HANNAH DAVIES b Swansea 1888, she married a SAMUEL GRIFFITHS in London 1917. WILLIAM VAUGHAN DAVIES b Chesterfield 1890 and died in Wigan in 1893. SIDNEY JAMES DAVIES b Wigan 1892 and died in London in 1953?
Martha Davies now a widow with two children returned to Swansea and gave birth to twins - WILLIAM GEORGE DAVIES and CATHERINE ANN DAVIES in 1895 (no fathers name on birth certs.)
Husband No. 2 was HENRY DIXON (a widower with three children) who was born in Whitehaven in 1858?. MARTHA DAVIES and Henry Dixon married in Swansea in 1897. They had four children AGNES MAUD DIXON b Swansea 1988 d Caerau, Bridgend 1910. FLORENCE MAY DIXON b Swansea 1900, and married JAMES HOPKINS b Bridgend in 1924. MARTHA ELIZABETH DIXON b Swansea 1902 d Swansea 1903. GLADYS DIXON b Swansea 1903 married JOHN FISHER in Bridgend 1922
Henry Dixon`s three children from his first marriage were all born in Swansea viz WILLIAM H DIXON 1889, THOMAS JAMES DIXON 1891, and JOHN DIXON 1893. They all lived with Henry and Martha in Swansea and Caerau, Bridgend. HENRY DIXON died in a colliery accident in Abercrave in the Swansea Valley in 1916.
MARTHA DIXON now a widow married JOHN T. HOWELLS (a widower) in Llangynwyd, Bridgend in 1916. The marriage was fraught with difficulties, and they lived apart longer than they lived together. JOHN HOWELLS died ? and MARTHA HOWELLS died 1927 in Caerau, Bridgend in 1927.
A complicated family with common surnames but with much help I may be able to unravel.
