Birth Record for David Cledwyn Matthews

[Lonalfalad]

I am trying find the record of birth for my Grandfather David Cledwyn Matthews in Glamorgan &  probably in Swansea.
 I have a copy of his marriage certificate dated 1st June 1907 at which time he was recorded as being 23 which would make his year of birth 1884.
I have looked online with findmypast and attempted to order a birth certificate from the General Records Office but to no avail.
Is there anyone who can help a very new family researcher crack this problem.
I should be most grateful

Welcome to Rootschat. 

Have you found David on a census record to confirm his birth place? Who did he marry in 1907?

Welcome from me also.

If you have his marriage certificate who does it say is his father, and who were the witnesses, every bit of info helps.

The first one of these might be worth following up (if you have not already done so of course) - seems to be the same one as mazi is pointing you at

Thanks to all for the leads

The one regarding the Swansea Poor law register in interesting.
As my mother told my sister just before she died that her father, David, was illegitimate
