John Jones & Anne David (4G Grandparents)

I can't find any information on them... :(

LDS FamilySearch states that John Jones was born in Aberdare, Glamorgan, Wales in 1774.  He was christened on 10 September 1780 in Baglan, Glamorgan, Wales.

Anne David was born about 1776.  She was christened on 5 February 1792.  She was buried on 17 December 1847 at Llwydcoed, Aberdare, Glamorgan, Wales.

George Rees & Catherine Betsy Richards (4G Grandparents)

Catherine Betsy Richards Birthdate: 1795

Death: (Date and location unknown)
----
Does anyone have access to the 1841 Census? If you do, could you please look for a George and Catherine Reese (Catherine was Catherine Betsy Richards prior to marrying George). They had a child, Thomas, in 1811, or so. Any information about either of these two, or just as importantly, either of their parents or any of their children is greatly appreciated.
I know George was born in 1795 in Aberdare; Catherine Betsy Richards was born in 1795 in Neath, Elam; they were married in either 1809 or 1819, and probably lived in Aberdare in 1841.
