Lavinia LEWIS my 3x Great Grandmother published by Graham Payne on Tue, 21/04/2020 - 9:02
Lavinia Lewis was born about 1827 (Yatton/Churchill according to various census) She married George Land in Bristol 6 September 1846. According to the marriage certificate Lavinia's father was John Lewis. The only other information I have established for Lavinia was that in the 1841 census she was recorded as a farm servant aged 13 working for William & Samuel Harris in Yatton.
I would appreciate any help in finding Lavinia's baptism, actual place of birth and mother.
As you say, her father, according to Lavinia's marriage is John LEWIS. His occupation is given as a Preacher which does suggest a non-conformist leaning, and is maybe why her baptism is hard to find. Any newspaper accounts of a John LEWIS?
