Hi Wendy,
You're probably best putting this on the trying To Find, or Records Office board.

Hi Carrieann,
This could be his marriage to Margaret;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marriages Mar 1905
ANTHONY William Pontardawe 11a 1087
DAVIES Sarah Pontardawe 11a 1087
LEWIS Margaret Ann Pontardawe 11a 1087
Smith David Rhys Pontardawe 11a 1087
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cwmbach is only 2 or 3 miles from Merthyr Tydfil & would probably have been part of its registration district.
There are two entries for David Smith born in this district.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Births Jun 1875
Smith David Merthyr T. 11a 485
Smith David Merthyr T. 11a 507
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its quite possible that he adopted Rhys later on as his middle name.
Regards,
Steve
