I see the headstone giving the Pontypool address, but in 1911 the family, Thomas, wife Ellen Rose and 8 children (including Edward) were living in Wooton-under-Edge.  Can't give too much detail off 1911 census.  They were also at Wooton-under-Edge in 1901:

Household Members:   
Name                 Age
Thomas Grimes           32
Rose Ellen Grimes   33
George Grimes           13
Frederick Grimes   10
Edward Grimes            8
William Grimes            6
Henry Grimes            5
Emily L Grimes            3
John Grimes            1

They were in Pontypool in 1891

Looking for death for Thomas & Rose

Not found a death for Thomas as yet, but I assume that the death you are considering is the 1928 death for a 58 year old Thomas Grimes in Pontypool 11a 194.

Have had look for the death for Rose Ellen and can only find 2 possible death for a Rose E Grimes between 1911 & 1970 on freebmd:

Deaths Dec 1938   GRIMES    Rose E    67    I.Wight           2b   860    
Deaths Mar 1943   GRIMES    Rose E    74    Barnstaple    5b   532
