Hi Dicksfinder,
Found your message about the Dicks family of Trowbridge. I have been researching the family for some years, as a branch of the Peters family. In reply to your question about Henry and Augusta being in Victoria, Ebbw Vale, I think it is most probable that Henry went to find work in the mines and/or steel works at the same time as Augusta's brothers, Ebenezer and Daniel Peters. Both Ebenezer and Daniel married local girls. Ebenezer and his wife Ellen remained in Victoria for the rest of their lives. Daniel and his wife Ruth emigrated to the U.S.A.
Ebenezer and Ellen lived in Augusta Street. I have a copy of the same photograph of Augusta Street as that already posted. I also have a photograph of Ellen and one of her daughters standing outside their house.
Regards,
Nuttypete
