I have the marriage same detail above to  Margaret Harris, (WPB) Witness Personal detail Banns.  Possibly more info could be found in the original record in Glam Records office.

One other point...

Going by the 'naming sequences' among my Rees ancestors...Margaret's father is likely to have been a 'Lewis'. (If these are the right ones:-)

Ist son named for husband's father,
2nd son named for wife's father.

I've just dug out a copy of the 1841 census for Llanrhidian Higher which was very faint and realised that the family you had was the correct one. David was down as a collier at the time. Sorry for the mix up. Ken.

I've got a David Rees b.1807 in Pentre St. John who married Margaret Harries b.1809,in Llangyfelach, they married in Feb 1829 in Llangyfelach. I've never been able to find any trace of her family, so I'd appreciate it if anyone has any information on them.

Ken, i have found your family in 1851, i dont know if you already have them then. they are in Llanrhidian Higher llandilo with their youngest son 8 months old Moses rees with ann , John, Aaron elizabeth and margaret jnr.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I have the records going forward, but it was the information on Margaret Harri(e)s that I was unable to find.

I would try having a look for her with Lewis Harris, - possibility for her father's name?
Another possibility is that her mother might have re-married?

My subs to Ancestry have expired, but if you request a Look-up on here, I'm sure that someone will oblige!

Hi everyone...I'm new here so please bear with me.  I have a William Lewis (b. about 1816) and Hanna Owen who married April 12, 1834 in Llangfelach.  They had children Hanna, William, Mary, Elizabeth, Jane, John and Ann.
Elizabeth is my great-grandmother. 
Would like to share data with others!

Hi Dave,

And welcome to Rootschat!!

Do you have your Lewis's on the various Censuses for Wales yet? And do you have any dates for your G/Grandmother?

Best Wishes, Romilly.
