I agree with Cas (stallc) reply #8. There has been a mix up and the family is wrong.

I believe this is the correct family ......

1841 census in Coaley

Daniel is working as a baker


The first daughter Mary Ann Lewis born 18 June 1836
Baptised 2 Aug 1836 Wesleyan Church in Dursley
Daughter of Daniel and Eliza Lewis (shop keeper of Coaley)

[Neale1961]

It looks as if Eliza Lewis (nee Periam) died young
Possible death .....

I don’t see Daniel Lewis or son John Lewis in the 1861 English census yet.
