Hi Bettye, Thanks for posting those Reynolds suggestions. I think my William Reynolds hails from the Haverfordwest area (his daughter marries there and he is in the area in the 1841 census), but I think his marriage is outside of Pembrokeshire. A neighbouring county that is most likely is Breconshire (or Brecknockshire as I've seen it spelt), so I think this is more likely. Thanks for looking, I much appreciate what both yourself and Sylvia have done.
