Hello Pam and Barb,
You two have made my day!!!!!!!! I get the list in Digest mode, so
received both your
messages in the Saturday morning digest. How exciting to wake up to
this information!!
Pam, I will indeed pursue the marriage cert for the marriages you
found, and Barb, I
think the family you found on the 1861 census is a perfect fit.
You're both wonderful -- thanks so much for your effort.

Looking at Free BMD on rootsweb, I picked up the following.
June Quarter 1848. Merthyr Tydfil. In this list there is mentioned
a John
Davies and Elizabeth Powell.
March Quarter 1850. Merthyr Tydfil. Same as above
September Quarter 1854. Neath. Glamorgan. "
As you mention David was born 1856 in Cwmdu. Glamorgan. perhaps the
1854
date may be the one. I expect only a copy marriage cert. will
resolve this
as it would show if William Powell was the father.
