Thank you Ray for reminding me of the Welsh patronymic naming system it's something I hadn't considered Wynne Thomas

Many thanks for your informative replies, it's appreciated. I have verified the entries of his children and their descendants. The idea of investigating the witnesses is something I haven't pursued with any conviction and it is something I should look into.
The marriage to Elizabeth Beynon in Talley is correct and I believe he was born there and the reference to Bank Cefn Rhos also correct. I have several possible baptism dates which made more sense until I found David Jenkins as father on marriage cert. In Llansawel 10 Aug 1822 parents as Thomas & Margaret. December 16 1819 parents as David Davies and Mary Davies both Llanycrwys and finally Feb 1822 with parents David and Rachel Davies Llandilo fawr & no document.
My grandmother was Church of England/ Wales
Regards Wynne Thomas

I noticed in several postings a common thread. My second great grandfather was born in November 1819. He married Elizabeth Beynon 1819-1890 on 7 May 1845, he was a servant on farm Gellicefn Rhos in Talley Caio region of Carmarthenshire at the time. Unfortunately for me on his marriage certificate his father is listed as being David Jenkins. I can not decide as to whether the curate/vicar made a mistake or that Thomas Davies was illegitimate. David Beynon father in law was from farm Ffynhonau gleison.
I don't know how to get past this point.
