I'm following the family of Rees/Rice/Reese/Rhys Edward(s) and his wife, Anne, both of whom were born, and probably married, in Llanaber.  I would like to find out exact birth and marriage dates, their parentage and whether they had other siblings, if possible. 

Rees was born 1772/1776, depending on the census, and Anne was born in 1777.  They had 9 children, all born between 1802 and 1822 at Cae Mab Seifion,  Llanelltyd near Dolgelly, after which the family moved to Llanerch farm, Llandderfel, as they all show on the 1841 census in Llandderfel.

If any of this sounds as if there is a link with the Edwards you mention on your list of interests, I'd be pleased to add more details.
