Do you know when he married, before or after the 1911 census, and whether he stayed in Newbridge?
Thanks

Sorry, saw Pugh thought Roper.
Does Newbridge have a Welsh name that is used on censuses, as not much turns up, which is why I leapt on the one above?
Thanks

What are the names of the Ropers? Have you found him in 1891 and 1901?
