Sorry to have troubled you. This branch of family has given problems because half of them had name change from David to Davies. Once again I think I will have to let it go. I know that 1851 Census has surname of David at Mount Pleasant with Daughter Alice c.1834 and son Thomas c. 1841. I tried to follow Alice and Thomas but must have had name change.. No mention of John's wife Elizabeth.
John was baptised Llandarrog in name of David.
Must plan a trip to Carmarthen perhaps next year.
Thank you all for your time and patience. I'm running out of both. Regards,Sylvia

Sylvia, seeing as it's such a common name do you know any more about him, like occupation, wife, children?

Do you have him on any other census?

Seeking John Davies b. 1806 Llanelly, believe a Widower. Possibly born Llandarrog but may have just been baptised there. Thank you.
