The Richard Lewis in the profile was born 1609, so would not have been running a shop in 1800 as he would have to be alive at age 191.

Correct address would be

High Street, Swansea, Glamorganshire, Wales

High Street used to be the main shopping street for the town (now a city) and the county is now called West Glamorgan but in 1800's (and back in 1609) it was known as Glamorganshire
