Hi Gwyn
what a shame the bible did not go further back....
yes, the father's name could have been Harry......thus taking the surname
Harries, but the surname at that time could have been Harry too.....as not
everyone at that time used patronimics.......
the entry from Llandeilo fawr of Theophilus son of Harry David and
Mary.......he could have been Harry son of David and no surname there
either.....it's a difficult period to search........
I will see if I can see anything else

Hi Pauline,
Looks like a dead end for the search of Theophilus. I suppose there
might be some info if there was an obituary for him, but I doubt if
there is one for him. I've looked again on the IGI and no luck. Am I
right in saying that if his name was Harris then his father's name
could have been Harry, if he wasn't a Harris already? I received a few
sheets from the Harris family bible today from my mum's cousin from New
Zealand and the furthest it goes is to Robert Harris, Theophilus'
grandson.
Oh well!
Gwyn
