Well done MPG, you found him, must admit I was surprised I couldnt even find him on the 1911 Census without tracing the rest of the family - as your post suggests he's a difficult chap to find, blooming electrickery eh ?!, I trust this sites PRs over the rest anyday of course. THANKS !!

That said given his early passing this clearly is NOT the same Charles that Caroline recalls....
This family certainly got around a bit, altho not uncommon in those days especially given their living near the Severn river & railway towards South Wales.
Thought I recognised the unforgettable name Ystradyfodwg, I studied in that area at Pontypridd at the old Mining College in the 1980s, lived in Porth for one of those years. This site shows the dramatic population increase typical of the Taff/Rhondda area when coal became King. Not too far from Llanelli too of course.
