I am seeking information about my great grandfather Edward Lewis. He says he was born March 11, 1855 in Myrther Tydfil Wales to an Edward Lewis and Mary whose last name is unknown. This info is from a handwritten entry in the family Bible. Have been unable to verify any of this information. Story is the dad, Edward, died at sea while traveling to Australia. Mary was somehow able to bring young Edward to the US. Again have been unable to verify any of this. We do know that he married in1874 and went on to have 11 children with his wife Elizabeth Collins. Family story says he was a slate miner from northern Wales but he was a coal engineer in the US. His father in law is a George Collins and the grandfather is Abel Dore from Ebbw Vale Wales. He brought his family to the US in the mid late 1850's. Any information about any of the aforementioned would be greatly appreciated.
