William may have had a second marriage, and this may be it.  Coity is a village in today's Bridgend County Borough, within about 5 miles of Maesteg.

2.  1841 Census of England and Wales Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com):  can't find with certainty, mainly because birthplace was not recorded beyond Glamorgan.  He may be the William DAVID (æ 15, b. GLA) living with the EVANS family in St. Bride Major, GLA, which is the closest match geographically.
