Thats great. Thanks for your help. Its so confusing when you have details that almost match and then you find something else that is possible. The details you found match my 1851 details but i didnt know Mary's maiden name or that there was a son prior to 1851!!! I can now safely disregard the initial find for 1861 and continue with the details you have found. Apparently Rees' mother was Tydfil which is an unusual name that i had not heard before but my cousin had got all confused and said it was his wife which confused matters even more!!
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Badgirl,
just to throw a spanner in the works!!
Are there 2 Rees Griffiths in your search as I found one living with his mother Tydfil Griffiths at Pen-y-gaun, Llantwit juxta Neath.
Household;
Tydfil Griffiths age 62 formerly woocutters wife
Rees age 32 coal miner
Lewis age 15 Blacksmith
Hannah age 22 Dressmaker
David age 18 coal miner
Charles age 24 Blacksmith.
This is from 1861.

This Tydfil Griffiths died 2nd qtr 1881 age 84 Neath vol 11a page 324.
Could your cousin be mixing up families and you had the right ones?

1841 Rees parents your cousin was spot on.

Heres the marriage

Evan Griffiths married Ditfill Hopkin on 22 Nov 1806 in Pyle/Kenfig Parish - both from this parish

Ditfill was misspelt or mistranscribed for Tydfil I believe.  Nothing else fits.

Evan & Tydfil are still alive in 1851

Thanks emsgirl but the Rees i was looking for had to have a son called William born circa 1843. Thanks for trying though, it appears you hit the same problem as i did!!!
Thanks Cas for the Tydfil info. What an unusual name!! I have not heard that one before!!!!
Many thanks again to all as i would still be searching for marriages that did not exist and tearing my hair out over names that did not match at all!!!
