I'm afraid I'm a bit bemused about where or what you think the problem is. Have I misunderstood what you're trying to achieve?

Hi Peter,
I'm trying to find how he married Mary Evans while he was still married to Rebecca John.

I see. Perhaps the death certificate will help.

Peter's quite right. There could further clues. I have a several great whose death was registered more than 3 months after the event.
Where did you get 22 September 1908 as Rebecca's death date?

Allowing for he fact that he could have lied - what does the cerificate record for John's marital status?
Bear in mind that he could have abandoned his first wife and married bigamously.
Or, divorced his first wife (should be recorded on TNA's catalogue in class J77)*
Or a different John DAVIES married Rebeccas JOHN.
The answers may lie in the marriage certificate in which Rebecca JOHn is recorded - and has been mentioned by others, the death certificate for Rebeca DAVIES.
*TNA = The National Archives. They hold surviving records of divorce. These have been individually indexed on TNA's online catalogue and are held in document class J77
