Very good ideas, Titch

I've tried Dafydd but no luck.

The only other thing that I can think of, and it always has to be a possibility - it's happened in my lines - is that David was being 'economical with the truth' $:-\$

I quite agree Gadget, some of mine were indeed very economical with the truth!

Another thought. Have you tried searching under David ELIAS? Sometimes Welsh names became anglicized on the journey to England

Yep, tried that one. As well as various other ways of spelling Ellis, and spelling david the Welsh way.

Thanks for the thought though.
