Just for comparison - here is the Samuel John you mention in your first post with mother Naomi in 1911 census. He is born abt 1885
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7PW-68T
His occupation ‘assisting in the business’. (Naomi is an Innkeeper)

There is a mention in UK Prisoner Records of Samuel John Rees, born abt 1884, a barman which may be him.(1908)

I posted the other person earlier. That Samuel was born abt 1879 in 1911. He is a Stone Mason and bricklayer.

The military record for Samuel John that you have has a birth abt 1877/79 and he is a Mason.
Later his employer is a Colliery company though but more importantly his address is the same as the probate record you have.

I can also see 1921 indexes for
Samuel J Rees b 1878
Hannah b 1888, Anglesey
Olive b 1905
David W b 1907
Who look to be together in Merthyr Tydfil.

I hope all this helps -  depending on which Samuel you are searching.

HELLO HEYWOOD.  It appears that I might have been following the wrong Samuel John Rees of which I assumed he had married Hannah Catherine Jones.  I even went to the extent of obtaining military records of the other Samuel John Rees.  My apologies to all those that have participated in my search.  It looks like up until 1921 at age 36 he had not married.

You are quite correct HEYWOOD the 1921 census which I have now sighted is my  Samuel John Rees.
The other Samuel John Rees  - I mistakenly got the wrong death certificate and newspaper clip of him.  Oh dear.  At least I have the right birth certificate for him.

Once again thank you all to those who have tried to put me on the right track.  I do apologize for misleading anyone.  Regards Elaine

I am just glad that you now have the right man.
Best wishes
Heywood
