  Noted events in his life were:

• Census: 1851, 30 Mar 1851, Mount Pleasant, Mamhilad, Monmouthshire. I believe that the name given, Middle Pentra, was an alternative name for Mount Pleasant, Mamhilad, since the family were living at Mount Pleasant according to Baptisms in June 1850 and April 1852 and for decades on either side.

• Occupation: Farmer, 30 Mar 1851, Mount Pleasant, Mamhilad, Monmouthshire. I believe that the name given, Middle Pentra, was an alternative name for Mount Pleasant, Mamhilad, since the family were living at Mount Pleasant according to Baptisms in June 1850 and April 1852 and for decades on either side.
