Thank you Kay99.  Other people have also responded to me about William.   I appreciate your input.
I have since learnt about a 1934 newspaper article regarding his death.  It states that  William's father in law L A Challicom was in attendance.  That would suggest that Lillians birth name would be the same.  Also in the article it mentions his step-sons Gordon Collins and Bert Collins. 
In the 1921 census there is William and Lillian Rees with Sydney, Leonard, Bert, Gordon, William, Reggie, Cecil.  I'm about to purchase a marriage certificate between William and Lillian which will hopefully point me in the right direction.  Regards Elaine

Hello People.  I have applied for William Lewis Rees birth certificate, REES, WILLIAM  LEWIS mothers maiden name WALTERS  GRO Reference: 1879  S Quarter in BEDWELLTY  Volume 11A  Page 121

I can see that he is on 1881-1901 Census records with his parents (William and Naomi Rees - nee Walters) mainly in the area of Pengam, Bedwelty. 

In 1911 and 1921 it's possible he is with a Lillian Rees (1921 census) but I have yet to confirm this.  I've yet to search the Welsh Newspapers.  If anyone can shed some light on this, I would be grateful.
Regards Elaine
