some children were simply not registered but as Jaywit said if he lived over 65 he would have had to prove his d.o.b for pension purposes

s.r. - I'm just thinking about why you unable to post .... 
Exactly what happens when you click on the [reply] button to make a post?

You're a good egg for going to Swansea Jim. I'm sure s.r. will be very happy.  Best of luck - I hope you can solve the mystery.

hi all
           I am on the s.h.horray lol
Jiminwales thank you so much for your very kind help.all that i have on John henry is that he is not on 1901 census but is on 1911 aged 9 yrs.the 1911 census says born in Blouronan now this must be Bryncoch as his brother/sister was born in Bryncoch & the census says Blouronan.[I have the brother/sister birth cert to proof this place]so this name must be missprinted ?
John henry in 1910 when the new school opened his school reg says d.o.b. 16th sept 1900.? now his 1st marriage was in 1927 his age was 28yrs/2nd marriage in 1953 his age is 52yrs his death cert does not give age of death but says d.o.b. 1st july 1901 swansea.john henry is infull name on school reg/marriages/death cert.his parents were in 1896 when they wed & same yr 1st son born  was at Tirmynydd farm birchgrove llansamlet.then in 1900 1st sister born on clase farm llangyfelach swansea.Then 1901 the family is at bryncoch cottage nr school.then his 2nd brother born 1904 at cottage nr school bryncoch.1906 2nd sister born just says on her birth cert brynccoh Blaenhonddan R.D. then 1910 last brother born at old furnace bryncoch Duffryn Clydach.The parents names were Richard & Sarah Rees [her maiden name [Evans]Richards occupations were farmer/farm bailiff/ostler/coal hewer/haulier.I have not been able to look for if he was baptized as i am too far from swansea archives to look myself.I have writtern to swansea reg office many times with various names spelling no trace done the same to neath reg office same no trace,even address searches swansea & neath no trace .S.R.

[jaywit]

SR At last

The school record you have does it give an address or mention of any siblings?

I am still worried there were 2 people with the same name.

Another thing his parent's marriage, can you give the full details, names and occupations of bride and groom and both fathers so we can hopefully work out if there was any connection to the family of Jack Rees.
