You'll need to give us a bit more detail re dates and names; Welsh surnames are too common otherwise. There are people living on Portland who were born in Merthyr T but none matching the surnames you gave. The closest is probably a Ball in 1901 who came from Cardiff.

Examples include:
1861 - Brooks
1881 - Hughes, Kayes
1891 - Holland
1901- Cagney, Williams, Ralph, Edwards

Patrick (b 15 Sep 1867) was still living in Wales as a miner in 1939 but was buried in Portland on 7 Dec 1949. He had been living at 66 Chiswell, Portland.

There are 38 trees on Ancestry listing his children but I don't know how accurate they are.
