You don't mention dates, Linda, but there is a Richard TREASURE living at Woodland Terrace, Penmaen in the 1901 census.  At that time he is a coal miner underground.

Don't know whether this might be the same man?

kind regards, Arranroots

In 1881 there is a Richard TREASURE senior "sinker of coal pits", living with Richard jr & the rest of the family at Pont Fan, Blackwood.

In 1971 Richard snr & family are at the Parrot Inn, Blackwood.

Richard's father was William (1851 census) a collier who came from Somerset and his mother Ann came from Rhymney.

Let me know if you want details of any of these people!

Hi Arranroots
Thank you for the info.  The dates My GtGrandfather was working for Mr R Treasure was 1910 to 1914. He was employed by Mr Treasure on the Houses at Oakdale terrace Penmain. Before that He worked for a Mr Newcombe helping build the Engine House at the Colliery at Oakdale, He was employed then from 1908 to 1910. My GtGranfathers name was Thomas Treasure I obtained this info from a diary He wrote.
Regards Linda.
PS his trade was a Stonemason.
