Elizabeth Lewis Biography
Born: 1804 and baptised 29 October 1804 in SS David & Cyfelach in Llangyfelach, Glamorgan, Wales. Only her father's name, Griffith Lewis, was on the baptism record. Her sister, Hannah's baptism has the same. This is probably because Griffith Lewis and Martha Joseph didn't marry until 31 December 1805. Brother Willian, baptised 1808, has both parent's names. Martha was of Llangyfelach Parish, Griffith was from nearby Llandeilo TalyBont parish.She married John Price at Merthyr Tydfil on 1 June 1833.
