What you don't say is that these are birth references - not marriage references

The births are in different counties so why can't you use that info to determine the right birth?  You presumably have your Rees on a census entry after marriage so must know where he was born

Alternatively - Buy a copy of the marriage cert for the couple to find his fathers name and occ

Then use freebmd/census entries to link him with the right father

No I can’t find him on the census

There is this census record 1901 address High Street Feckenham Worcestershire
Rees T Jenkins age 27 born about 1874 Llanfyllin Montgomery Wales ( drapers manager )
Mary E Jenkins age 27 born Denbighshire Wales
Sarah J Jenkins are 3 weeks born Worcestershire

Gro .gov records for Sarah Jane Jenkins 1901 Warwick Worcester mother's maiden name Davis

So would say this looks like the man you are after

  OK will  plough on while awaiting a reply from peb205, Thomas & Sarah Jenkins also had a daughter Esther Anne b 1873 Llanfyllin, in 1881 she is in Church Street, Llanwyddyn aged 8 Niece to a Rees Jones 70 occ Tailor and Anne
Census ref RG11/5499/138/8
Can anyone locate a marriage of a Thomas Jenkins to a Sarah ( Jones )

In 1871 a Thomas Jenkins aged 30 Single occ Cooper is in Metford Village with widowed mother Esther and sibling Evan aged 20
Census ref RG10/5630/40/5

I think Sarah was actually Benbow

Marriage ref Thomas Jenkins mar qtr 1877 Llanfyllin vol 11b pg 289 with Sarah Benbow on the same page

marriage notice  from newspaper dated 3/2/1877
https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3854379/3854387/45/

1871 census of Chirbury RG10/5621 folio 42 pg 8 has a Sarah Benbow aged 31 b. Newtown, Mont with father John who matches the Sarah married to Thomas Jenkins. Looks like there may be another wife in between?
