I have tried to look, but there are many David John Edwards in Wales/Glamorgan.  I think the only way you can be sure who is yours is to get the marriage cert.  You will then know their father's names, ages, addresses, marriage place, witnesses etc... and have something to work with.

Marriage - Gough, Matilda - Edwards, David John

March Qtr / 1903 / Pontypridd / Vol: 11a / Pge 589 

£7.00 from the GRO online (you will need to register and have credit card) or from the local registry office Pontypridd.  (Google for address)

I have found Matilda on the 1901 with her widowed mother and brother, let me know if you need this.  I have also found a David John born Ystradfodwg 1881 that seems a possible, but there is no way you can clarify without the cert/father's name.

Ystradfodwg Parish is an old name for the Rhondda Valley

Hope this helps
