Lovely research done there,AG!!!!!!!!

In 1901, the census records go to 10 Chapel Street, and then jump to Upper Bailey Street, which joins on to the end of Chapel Street.
No mention of Twynglynen, nor of Carmel House.

But as the Chapel wasn't built until after 1901, I guess neither of the houses were there, either.

Interestingly, although not relevant to this thread, Margaret Williams, in 1901, was living with husband and family at Chapel House, Aberchellau Road. That was next door to Wattstown Hotel. The Calfaria Welsh Baptist Chapel was there, just along from the hotel, and is now converted to a block of flats called Calfaria Chapel House. (Per a Google search).
Although no occupation is given for her in 1901, perhaps she was a caretaker there, too.

And then moved to a nice new house on Chapel Street before 1911!

This is very interesting, thank you so much. I'm really very grateful

I really can't thank you all enough for your help

I've just looked at the marriage certificate again and they were married at the Parish Church but interestingly they were married by Thomas Williams Vicar.

So my main aim is see if the person my dad was brought up thinking is his auntie is actually his Auntie as he always felt there was something not quite right. My Nan Gwyneth Griffiths was born about 1909 and according to the 1911 cenus lived in Hillside Terrace. The "sister" in question was born in 1933. From information on here I can see her surname was Griffiths but mothers maiden name was also Griffiths. My Nan married my grandad Godfrey James in 1935 where at the time she was living in Carmel House and had no occupation. My Grandad at the time was living in Bailey Street, Wattstown .

If you buy the "sister"'s birth cert, it will tell you the mother's first name.

I have, just waiting for it

My mother's and father's families are from that part of the world. If you contact Pontypridd library there is a gentleman there called Hywel who will do all he can to answer queries by email. He may have information on the building at the time you are looking for. They have a very good research department and, if he can't answer immediately, he will get back to you later. I've had a great deal of help from Hywel with my Griffiths family.

Oh wow that's fab, thank you very much

Our Griffiths families are not connected are they??? Lol!!

There's another "sister" that I can't find any record of. Marie Griffiths. Year of birth should be around 1912. I can't find any record of her.

What was Marie and Gwyneth's mother's maiden name?
