What you don't say is that these are birth references - not marriage references ???
The births are in different counties so why can't you use that info to determine the right birth? You presumably have your Rees on a census entry after marriage so must know where he was born
Alternatively - Buy a copy of the marriage cert for the couple to find his fathers name and occ
Then use freebmd/census entries to link him with the right father
-
No I can’t find him on the census

There is this census record 1901 address High Street Feckenham Worcestershire
Rees T Jenkins age 27 born about 1874 Llanfyllin Montgomery Wales ( drapers manager )
Mary E Jenkins age 27 born Denbighshire Wales
Sarah J Jenkins are 3 weeks born Worcestershire
Gro .gov records for Sarah Jane Jenkins 1901 Warwick Worcester mother's maiden name Davis
So would say this looks like the man you are after

Thomas Jenkins Head 40 1841 Cooper Meifod, Montgomeryshire, Wales
Sarah Jenkins Wife 41 1840 Cooper Wife Newton, Montgomeryshire, Wales
Rees T Jenkins Son 6 1875 Scholar Llanfyllin, Montgomeryshire, Wales
No 1881 census or death before 1881 for Rees Thomas Jenkins, born Carmarthenshire.

:) OK will plough on while awaiting a reply from peb205, Thomas & Sarah Jenkins also had a daughter Esther Anne b 1873 Llanfyllin, in 1881 she is in Church Street, Llanwyddyn aged 8 Niece to a Rees Jones 70 occ Tailor and Anne
Census ref RG11/5499/138/8
Can anyone locate a marriage of a Thomas Jenkins to a Sarah ( Jones )
In 1871 a Thomas Jenkins aged 30 Single occ Cooper is in Metford Village with widowed mother Esther and sibling Evan aged 20
Census ref RG10/5630/40/5

I think Sarah was actually Benbow
Marriage ref Thomas Jenkins mar qtr 1877 Llanfyllin vol 11b pg 289 with Sarah Benbow on the same page
marriage notice from newspaper dated 3/2/1877
https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3854379/3854387/45/
1871 census of Chirbury RG10/5621 folio 42 pg 8 has a Sarah Benbow aged 31 b. Newtown, Mont with father John who matches the Sarah married to Thomas Jenkins. Looks like there may be another wife in between?
-
:) This is good, so is she the Sarah Jones who married an Edward Benbow 1860 Newtown?

Marriage 1877 to Thomas Jenkins?
-
no, her father is John Benbow. I think the first wife is Elizabeth Ann Jones, daughter of Rees the tailor on the 1871 census whose death is recorded as
Elizabeth Ann Jenkins 26 june qtr 1874 Llanfyllin vol 11b pg 183, same quarter as the birth of Rees T.
Not that I've spotted the marriage yet...
::)
-
;D Even I am getting confused, so the Sarah Benbow b Sept qtr 1841 Newtown mmn Crump who gives mmn Jones for children with Thomas Jenkins is her?

the marriage to Thomas is after the birth of the children, so there could be another wife in between. Esther Ann is with Rees Jones in 1881. Rees had a daughter Elizabeth Ann and there is a death reg for an Elizabeth Ann Jenkins of the right age jun qtr 1874 Llanfyllin, the same quarter as the birth reg of Rees Thomas Jenkins.
If this is the correct Rees, poster needs to get the birth cert to be sure of parents. Marriage is still to be found...
-
hurrah, parish marriage found!
1 June 1872, parish of Llanwddyn
Thomas Jenkins full age cooper Meifod, father Thomas Jenkins, cooper
Elizabeth Jones full age Penllan, Llanwddyn, father Rees Jones, tailor
witnesses Evan Jenkins & Jane Margarls(?) all sign
:D

marriage doesn't appear to have made it to FreeBmd or the indexing is incorrect, but North Wales Bmd do have it showing as in Llanwddyn, registers held at Llandrindod Wells. It's also on FindMyPast.
