Do you have a fathers name for Rees?  There are 2 possibles one born about 1891 and one 1888 - don't want to give you the wrong one !

Olivette Griffiths Birth recorded Swansea December Quarter 1892  Vol. 11a Page 868

I knew this site would come up trumps . [for Wendi] do not know the name of the father of Rees , BUT I have been informed that he had a sister Gwen and maybe one named Jane . If information is correct believe the Lewis family found by Tanja is the correct one. [unless someone proves me wrong] . Thankyou to everyone for your assistance.

Tati, I think  Phillip's occupation is Tinplate worker ???

eirwen, interestingly the Lewis family only spoke Welsh.  Big families, that will keep you busy for a while :)

Yes, tin plate worker seems right. And language spoken is Welsh.
