Apparantly on our side of the Lewis family, if you go back far enough there was a connection with a mayor in Antwerp. My GGG Grandfather was Jacob Lewis born around 1848, who married Hannah (Annie) Deiveld in around 1848 and had a son, Joseph Lewis born 1869 and married Mary Neagle. It is the previously mentioned Jacob Lewis' father I am interested in, born around 1756 in Belgium and also known as Jacob Lewis (as far as we know) that I need some information on. I would like to know who he married, where in Belgium he was born, who his father was, etc. Would be great to hear from anyone who has information on this line, or any distant relatives! Please email me at rob_son21@hotmail.com should you know anything at all. Our side of the Lewis family settled in St Georges in the East, London around late 1800s. Name Lewis may have been changed from a similar sounding Belgium name (Louis, or Loos for example). Thanks Rob Lewis Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
