Narrative

The various census records and his burial record suggest various birth dates between 1814 and 1823. There is no baptism record for a John Lewis in Lampeter within several years either side of these dates (most likely the parents were non-conformists). 1817 is roughly in the middle of the range, and is the most common date suggested by the census records.
