Hello Warren I am not sure what info you already have, and whether you have access to the censuses. Anyway, these below are my findings so far. On the 1881 census of England living in Ealing, Middlesex is Cyrus W. Lewis age 4 born Brentford c1877. Father Cyrus Lewis occupation Hairdresser born town of Monmouth c1830. Mother Mary A. born Richmond, Surrey c1838. Siblings Joseph 18, Annie 14, John 12, Ada 10, Clara 8, Maud 6 and Frank 1. All children born Brentford. In 1891, Cyrus and Mary are still alive, and are listed with Clara 18, William 14, Frank 12, Emily 8 and Beatrice 6. I have a feeling that William is actually Cyrus junior using his middle name. What do you think? In 1901, Cyrus L. Lewis is age 71 and Mary 63. It says Cyrus was born in Mayhill, Monmouthshire c1830. Frank is still at home age 21. It seems that Cyrus Lammas Lewis died 9 years after that census. I found this record: Deaths Mar 1910 LEWIS Cyrus Lammas Age 78 Brentford 3a 75 More to follow in next message. Marian Manager |

I found Cyrus and Mary Ann's marriage in 1877: Marriages Mar 1877 CHILDS Mary Ann St. Saviour 1d 59 Lewis Cyrus Lamas St. Saviour 1d 59 But there was also another marriage in 1852: Marriages Dec 1852 CURRIE Clara Brentford 3a 64 Hare William Brentford 3a 64 HUMPHREYS Caroline Brentford 3a 64 Lewis Cyrus Lammas Brentford 3a 64 The strange thing is that in 1861 he is listed on the census as living with wife Mary Ann age 23 and son George age 2. I have investigated further to see if I could find a death of his first wife and came up with these: Deaths Mar 1856 LEWIS Clara Brentford 3a 44 Deaths Jun 1856 Lewis Clara Brentford 3a 41 Could one of them have been his first wife and the other his daughter? More to follow. Marian |

In 1841 Cyrus Lewis senior age 9 is living with his parents John and Hannah (both age 30) in Wyesham, Newton Dixton, Monmouthshire, Wales. John is an Agricultural Labourer. Cyrus' siblings are James 8, John 4, Elizabeth 2. Ten years later in 1851 Cyrus is living in Brentford with his uncle and aunt, David and Sarah Okell / Odell / Ottell. I see that David is also a hairdresser, born in Warwick. We found this on the LDS site: CYRUS LAMMAS LEWIS Christening: 21 AUG 1831 Dixton Newton, Monmouth, England Parents: Father: JOHN LEWIS Mother: HANNAH Cyrus Lammas' marriage to Mary Ann Childs: CYRUS LAMAS LEWIS Marriages: Spouse: MARY ANN CHILDS Marriage: 01 JAN 1877 Christ Church, Southwark, London, England And JOHN LEWIS Birth: About 1768 Of Trevethin, Monmouth, Wales Marriages: Spouse: MRS. ANN LEWIS Hannah and Anna are often the same name Dixon Parish Records of Monmouth -- listed is a Cyrus Lewis christened in 1831 Father John Lewis Mother Hannah Lammas Lewis Christened 1831 father John Lewis and Mother Hannah James Lewis Christened 1833 Father John Lewis Mother Hannah (see 1841 census above - brother James).

This looks like the marriage of Cyrus William Lewis Junior who was born 1877: No way of knowing, with the actual certificate, which one is his wife, Sarah or Alice. But you may know this already? Marriages Jun 1907 FITZJOHN Sarah Brentford 3a 299 LEWIS Cyrus William Brentford 3a 299 SMITH Alice Ellen Brentford 3a 299 Marian

He was accidently killed on board SS Haimon 21st December 1922.His father was William Holmes.Mother Sarah Ann (nee Heywood). Siblings Annie, Florence, Ernest,Sarah ann, Clara, George Christmas. Regards, Marion ( Warrens wife) |

Hi Marian, I have no info on Cyrus William Lewis's wife .Just wondered if you could find out more. I know that Annie married a Harry Mather, as she came to New Zealand.Also my mother had letters etc. that mentioned that there was another sister of Edith Mary's, called Maria. I also wonder if you could find out who the other siblings married. Regards Marion |

Hi Marion I have firstly been searching out those marriages, and have found some possibilities for some of them. Not an easy task! However, this is what I have come up with. In many cases, there is more than one marriage listed on a page, so there is no way of telling which spouse matches which. The only way of knowing for sure is to order the certificate. Marriages Mar 1885 LEWIS Annie Hendon 3a 168 Shute Henry Hendon 3a 168 Marriages Sep 1892 Lewis Maude Marie Hendon 3a 238 Munce William James S Hendon 3a 238 PHILLIPS James Dowell Hendon 3a 238 Marriages Sep 1892 FARMER John Brentford 3a 233 LEWIS Maude Marie Hendon 3a 233 Welsh William Brentford 3a 233 Marriages Dec 1900 Brooker Alice Maria Brentford 3a 132 Lewis Frank Walter Brentford 3a 132 Steer Daisy Brentford 3a 132 Marriages Sep 1901 DOWLING Elizabeth Ann Brentford 3a 130 Lewis Frank Brentford 3a 130 Mottram Amy Alice Brentford 3a 130 Marriages Jun 1910 GOLDSMID Gina Ethel M Willesden 3a 366 JONES Esther Mary Willesden 3a 366 Lewis Frank Joseph Brentford 3a 366 Marriages Sep 1904 Bazley George Brentford 3a 282 Heath John Brentford 3a 282 Lewis Emily Kate Brentford 3a 282 Marriages Jun 1905 JOSLIN Thomas John Brentford 3a 124 Lewis Beatrice Alice Brentford 3a 124 STOKES Herbert John Brentford 3a 124 Marian Manager |
