Marriage lookup in Narberth - LEWIS completed

[ciaobella]

I was wondering if anyone would be so kind to help me locate a marriage of a James LEWIS to Elizabeth (Lizzy) possibe surname LLOYD?  The marriage would have took place around 1897/8, in Narberth area. They would have been in their 20's.  I believe they were both of the same county and i dont know the names of their parents. There's a 'rumour' in the family that James' name was actually 'Thomas James LEWIS' but instinct and other evidence tells me otherwise!
Not a lot to go on i know and i realise the names are very common but any info, however small would be grately appreciated.
Regards
Louise

Good evening

The marriage that CaroleW refers to is that of

James Lewis
AND Elizabeth Lloyd
Married 3/7/1897 at Begelly church (a few miles south of Narberth but in Narberth reg. district)

Following details from parish church marriage register:
James Lewis, bachelor, aged 22 of Sardis Mountain, St Issells parish, collier, son of James Lewis, groom
Elizabeth Lloyd, spinster, aged 21 of Begelly parish, daughter of Thomas Lloyd, collier
Witnesses: George Thomas and Mary Lloyd

Interesting that they appear to have had a son baptised at St Issells church 1/1/1901 called Thomas James Lewis! Father's occupation collier, residence Harrys Tump, St Issells parish.

There are a further two baptisms against these parents as follows in the St Iissells parish register both on 25/8/1907:

Lily May Lewis and
William John Lewis.

Father still a collier but family now resident in Glamorgan. It was not unusual for families who'd migrated from their native parish in Pembrokeshire to return and have their children baptised in the local church.

Hope that tallies with what you know.

Jon, you've made my week!! EVERYTHING tallies with what i have.  I recently checked the 1911 census and knew of the other two children Lily and William and in an earlier post i asked if someone could lookup Thomas James baptism, but in Glamorgan!

I was going to order a marriage cert after CaroleW post, and still will but i'd never have known about the baptisms in St Issells Church.

What a wealth of information, many many thanks
