    well the good news is that every William Henry Lewis born 1863/4/5 - in the GRO birth index - has a mother's maiden name

    I just have to decide which one is your William Henry Lewis

    one is dated 1865
    the other is 1861 at Hubberston

    Before anyone gets carried away chasing totally the wrong people, let's have a bit of a check.

    Post #1, you're looking for
    my grandfather albert william lewis born 27 jan 1901
    nelson st penner pembrokeshire he died june 1971 in london his parents were
    william henry lewis mother clarissa maude lewis formerly young
    So I'm assuming from that you have his birth certificate.
    And after doing minimal checking, I'm also assuming that it actually says his forenames are Albert William Edwin?
    Is his mother's name definitely Clarissa Maude, or Clarissa Matilda, as per her marriage certificate? On the marriage certificate, what ages are given for both William and Clarissa, and what are their fathers' names and occupations? (All these extra details should provide further proof that you are following the correct families back in time. It's extremely dangerous to rely on one document.)

    In post #2, Julie found Albert with his parents and at least some of his siblings in the 1901 census.

    In the fourteen years since your first post have you searched the previous censuses (1891, 1881, 1871) to check the accuracy of father William's birth year and place? Also since then, the 1911 census and the 1939 Register have been released so there are two further sources to check, and sites such as Findmypast (FMP) and Ancestry have added many parish registers. FMP for example have Pembroke baptisms, marriages, and burials. Have you checked any of those, and if so, what have you found to save us duplicating your research?

    Re Clarissa and her family, again, have you checked the 1881 and 1891 census to prove the accuracy of the ages and birthplaces given in the 1871 and 1901 census?

    I can't find a place called Penner in Pembrokeshire. Do you mean Pennar, which is an area of Pembroke Dock?

    As the 1901 census (see post #2) says Albert's birthplace was Pembroke Dock, I would assume the answer is yes.
