Hi Anne
David Rees was in Laugharne in 1867 when Frederick was born.....then in
Pontypridd by 1870....so he would not be in Carmarthen in 1871 census...
Give me the info you have on John Rees the father, I'll see if I can find
anything here...

Hi pauline,
At first look, I thought this was probably a different family. I went
back to my 1881 census info. David is definitely using the surname Rees;
but
interestingly, one of his daughters is called Margaret.
I'm fairly certain I've got the right marriage for David Rees. I found
matching entries in
the GRO. I've also found the wife's (Anne Powell) family in the 1851
census
in
Llansadwrnen. David and Anne's first child Frederick was born in Laugharne
in 1867. They then head off to Glamorgan which is where I found them in
1881.
My best hope may be that David was living with his parents in 1866; and
try
to trace them in the 1871 censusu in Priory Street, Carmarthen.
I think I've found Anne's parents marriage in the Carmarthenshire index:
Thomas Powell and Hannah John in Llansadwrnen on 15 May 1834; will the
parish register entry give me any further details (eg their father's
names)?
Many thanks for your help again, Pauline.
All the best,
Anne (2015).
