Wasn't sure how much I'm allowed to include.
I'm happy to include the whole page or do you just want the whole line?

I see what you mean, but didn't they used to put what looked like an 'f' for the S at the beginning of a word?

Is it online? - I had a look on FindMyPast and found some possibles (non-con register - Mary Rees d. of David Rees) but not with anything written in the margin.

Thanks. That's the one I saw but it didn't have a full marginal note giving David's parentage.

I think the marginal note has probably been squeezed in.  I'll go with Rees.

Found the marginal note now - zoomed in, they are  very cramped/scribbled Rees
