I saw that but as she was already one year old in April 1901 I discounted it.

I'll suggest the same birth reg as I did on this previous post

Evan Henry Rees sept qtr 1901 Neath vol 11a pg 972

Evan is Welsh for John, correct quarter & registration district for a birth in Bryncoch or Blaenhonddan.

On your other post (link provided by Osprey) you say:
"WHY can't i find his birth i have writtern to neath/swansea they say no trace."

I'm not sure I'd trust that a proper search was done by Neath.Swansea. 

There have been several births suggested in these two posts, including Evan Henry Rees. Unfortunately you'll probably have to make some purchases, and go through them one by one, in the hope that you find the correct John Henry.

Just to let you know, s.r. isn't ignoring you       

It seems s.r. is still having problems posting on here.   I have no idea why!!

I think it's time to contact one of the mods

s.r. is still having trouble posting on the thread ... weird ...

Anyway, this is what I just received from s.r. via PM:

 I am replying this way as i cant get to put my answers on the s.h. board.as to your questions abt John Henry Rees
1.his death cert sat's his d.o.b.1st july 1901 sawnsea[in wales uk]
2. the informant was his step daughter.
3. all of his siblings who were all born[lived] born[died] were all registered.
as i have there certificates.
4.have not been able to check the baptism for him as i am too far from swansea archives.
5. I have asked swansea reg /neath offices to check for him a few ways as in the address/parents /various namespelt all come back as no trace.
6. I have his school register it says his name is john henry rees d.o.b. 16th sept 1900.I have gone by this date with no trace also thought he may ahave been a twin as his sister was born in 1900 no trace.
hope that this answers your questions & helps in some way as to finding john henry.speak soon

You would usually expect the school record to be more reliable than the death certificate regarding his dob.

Do you also have the school records for his siblings? If so, are their dates of birth the same as on their birth certificates? If so, you would also expect John Henry's school record to be correct too ...

So Jennie was Janet Gladys. Possible then that John was Evan?
