Hello Liz
Looking at the 1841 census entry - it seems the Alice married to William
Williams with a daughter Alice is the daughter of Rowland quite possibly
- as there is a marriage of an Alice Rees to William Williams that fits.
Given that they are in Llangyfelach and the name of Alice it seems a
good guess that Rowland is the one in the following marriage:-
1st July 1798 in Llangyfelach Rowland Rees married Alice Bowen.
The index that I have states there are personal details in the parish
register plus names of witnesses and it was a marriage after banns.
A similar marriage is also shown in IGI - but as the LDS often guess the
age of the groom his birth is shown as about 1773 which is possibly why
it wasn't considered.
But when the age is given as "about" there is no proof at all that it is
correct as the LDS just assume a standard age for the groom and use that
(they have that in their information re marriages)
The IGI also shows the bride as Alice Bevan - but the information ther
is not from the parish register but has been supplied by a member.
I don't know if this helps at all.

Hello List
Is there anyone out there who knows where I can find out some information
(possibly other than using an LDS library) on a possible Llandilofawr marriage
pre- 1754 between Rees Rowland & Rachel unknown and burials from around the
same time?
I have been looking for a baptism of Rowland Rees b.c. 1760 (death cert.
March 1847, age 87) throughout Glamorgan, based on the fact that he gave
Glamorgan as his county of birth in 1841. Someone on the Glamorgan list pointed
out
the following baptism entry on the IGI and I would like to be able to either
discount this Rowland - or not!
Rowland REES, baptised Llandilofawr 1759, parents Rees ROWLAND & Rachel,
possible siblings also baptised there are Elisabeth REES (1755) and Harry REES
(1757).
Many thanks,
Liz
