I have this Obit from Carmarthem for a relation to my GG grand father Thomas Rees B 1811 Roberton Warthen (Narbeth). I do not have a date on the Obit but you will note below this I believe I found his college, Trinity in Carmarthen. Any help in find more information on David would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Dear Mr Rees,
Your e-mail has been forwarded to me and I've had a look through the student roll list - there was a David J Rees from Carmarthen who attended the college between 1907-1909.
