Found this gentleman on the 1881 Census living at Eckington, Derby with his wife and family. He married Ann Harries in 1868 In Pontypridd.
I really am trying to find him with his parents (hopefully his father is George)
so would appreciate a sighting on the 1851 and 1861 Census
Silas Arthurs born about 1849 New Building Somerset.
Many thanks
