Hi Teddy? Having had a look it appears its a case that requires more details Who did he marry Have you found them in 1881? can you give the page(s) reference When was he born and where (*in* Pontypridd or surrounds) When and where was his wife born If you can't find them in 1891, 1901 or 1911 how do you know for certain they never left Wales?
