I'm wondering if this is the same family in 1861 - William's age is much different and looks like the transcription matches the original on both.

Thanks greyghost . From what scant information I have this seems to be worth following up.

Hi Brinley and welcome to the message boards

What was your Grandfathers name please. It may be possible to find him and William Lewis together in the census records.
