Buried in Ebenezer Congregational churchyard, Pontnewynydd, Gwent, UK.
Her date of birth is calculated from her entry in the 1871 Census, and
cannot be relied upon.The 1861 Census shows Rachel as a widow aged 55
living with her two children at Cwmffrwdoer Farm, describing her as a
farmer of 20 acres. Also shown as part of the household are a niece
Margaret aged 10 and a nephew John aged 7, both surnamed Lewis and both
born in Bedwellty. It is therefore possible that Rachel's maiden name was
Lewis.
