James Lewis born 1886 in Carmathen disappeared, we think into the USA or Canada in about 1906 onwards.

He may have been married as we have photo's of a woman called Elizabeth Lewis living in Canada, and we think this may have been James's wife.

James was for a time a sailor, and we know he worked his passage to the States from Cardiff via Malta ending up in Massachusetts.

If anyone over in the States or Canada can help pin point James Lewis or any potential offspring please let me know.

To give you an idea in this folder you will find the various bits of info we have on him view here.

The ship manifest is a possible clue, but it is not confirmed as 100% positive that this is the James Lewis we are looking for.
