I found recently an old cash book/notebook with date 100 years today December 9th 1922. David Pugh lived in
20 Windsor Place
Merthyr Vale.
I was wondering what details the 1921 census had about him. Can someone help please? There is no clue on the notebook how old he is or what his employment was. The notes inside are Christian poetry and extracts from sermons he had listened to. They are in Welsh and English.
Thank you.

The 1921 census is only available on FindMyPast & is pay per view via purchase of credits. This applies to people who have a FindMyPast subscription as well.
The index is free to search yourself.
Have you looked for him on the 1911 census in case he was at the same address?
Is this person an ancestor?

Thank you CaroleW, I was unaware of the extra charge. He isn't at same address on 1911 census, but there is a David Pugh living in Merthyr Vale with his parents aged 27. I will take a photo of front page and try to send it to this forum.

It could also be the David Pugh born 1877 Montgomery, single, coal hewer living Merthyr Vale with mother and 2 sisters in 1911.
Free 1921 index address search gives David Pugh born 1877 Llanidloes with Martha Pugh b 1877. You would need to check record to confirm if correct address.
There is a possible marriage freebmd in June Q 1920 for David Pugh to a ? Brown correct area, but spouse first name not listed.

Jun 1920
Pugh David Brown Merthyr T. 11a 1950
Looking at the original entry on FreeBMD I think vol might be 1958 not 1950 :-\
so spouse might be Elsie as there’s a male name missing
Jun 1920
Brown Elsie M Pugh Merthyr T. 11a 1958
Griffiths William Richards Merthyr T. 11a 1958

Thank you for these replies. They confirm who was the owner of the book and how my grandfather acquired the book in 1950s. My grandfather William Caradoc Davies was minister at Bethel Aberystwyth. He probably knew David & Martha Pugh when they lived in Cardiganshire. It's possible they have decendants still living in the area.
I tried to send photo of inside cover with address, but it was too big to upload on rootschat site. But I will post some extracts from book later on in the day. Thank you again for everyone who has been busy with lookups. Very much appreciated.
