Thank you Aidan, I think this could be the right David Griffiths. I have tried to match the census details but although they are not exactlry the same I don't think they are far apart. In 1871 census he is vicar of Felinfoel ,Carm. 1881 census vicar of Llanddarog and 1891 he is vicar of Felinfoel. I hope someone will tell me if they think I have mismatched him to your findings. My map reading skills are not the best!
