Two questions: Is the change of surname name that Llewelyn David/Davies son
John did when he moved from Brecon Farms a common practice. Do you know why
he would change his surname?
Do you know any living, male descendants of Llewelyn David/Davies?
Thank you.

Thank you Jill, but the Llewelyn Davies with wife Eliizabeth you
found is
not my family.
My Llewelyn David was living at Beacons Farm, Merthyr Tydfil in 1841 with
his wife, 5 sons, a daughter and his mother-in-law Mary Jones. At that time
his surname was given as Davies although he had been married in 1812 as
Llewelyn David and gave his surname in the 1851 census as David again!
The family eventually settled on Davies as their surname. His oldest son
John changed his surname to Williams, got married, went farming in the
Vaynor area then changed his surname back to Davies when he returned to
Beacons farm to take over from his father.
He and his wife were buried at Vaynor, but when I went there I couldn't
find the grave, it was all rather overgrown at the time. I did find his
son's grave there, Llewelyn Davies & his wife Margaret.
It's all very intriguing.
