Ooohhhhh... this needs looking at in the morning! I just found this on the IGI, remembering that they assume that all Welsh people used the patronymic system before a certain date:
Hopkin Lazarus christened 2 Feb 1794 Saint Nicholas, Glamorgan, father Lazarus Jenkin.
I know it's a few years too early and it could well just be a coincidence, but worth investigating.
(Edit - actually, it's right for his age on the 1841 census when he is age 45-49 and he seems to have knocked some years off his age after that)
