There is some confusion as to Daniels' actual name and place of birth.
Though a definitive answer was given in Tony Lee's 2009 publication which printed a copy of his birth certificate.
Daniels was born in Llanelli on 9 February 1903 as William Daniel to David John Daniel and Francis Ann Roberts.
His father was a rugby player of some note who played for Llanelli and the Wales international team.
