Waw. That is exactly the sort of info i want. thank you so much. I have some of the information you sent so i know they are the family im looking for. Sorry im so vague. I was wondering if you could find a marriage between Diana or Dinah Buckland to a William Lewis in the Ystradgynlais Brecon area around 1845-1867. They had a son John Lewis born around 1868. Im tryin to discover how and when the surname became Lewis down my Line. My grandfather and his siblings were Lewis' but they were always known as Buckland Lewis'. Im not 100% of his Grandparents' names. If you come across anything i would be most grateful

The only Buckland/Lewis marriage I can find is March quarter 1866 Merthyr Tydfil 11a 502 William Lewis to Sarah Buckland?

In Census 1871 of Wales, Diana Buckland is stated as Head of House and Married, but no Husband is listed in the home. Why would that be? Any plausible explanations for this would be appreciated

Hi Lisa,



If this is the right one, it maybe to do with his job. The only thing is, he is transcribed as unmarried, so maybe someone else can give their opinion on this. The family next door are also Bucklands. Maybe he had split up with his wife and gone to live near other relatives
