Welcome to the boards, Sheila.

Just to be sure we've understood your information:

Your father is Alfred Edwin Thomas 1932.

Your grandfather was born 1904 - what was his name?

Your grandfather's mother was Mary Ann Thomas, formerly John.
What was her husband's name? (Your great-grandfather)

Mary Ann lived with your great-grandfather and your grandfather in Aberdare.

Is that correct, please?


EDIT:
Oh yes, I see the 1891 census posted by Gins is the correct one.
