Helen - Hopefully Kelly will notice that you've added to her thread.

Just in case she doesn't, click on her name to send her a message. Assuming she hasn't changed her email address since Feb, she will be notified that you are trying to contact her.

For future reference, to answer your initial question of how to etc., we first need to find the following info from GB's poat:
Registration district: Pontypridd
Registration District Number: 589

So go to http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/advanced-search
and look up, say, Wattstown within ref rg14 (i.e., the ref for the 1911 census forms)
There are no hits, so try Rhondda instead of Wattstown.

Now there's a whole mess of hits like:

Reference: RG 14/32401
Description:
Registration Sub-District: Rhondda
Civil Parish, Township or Place:
Rhondda (part)
RD 589 RS 4 ED 73

with the context in the footer showing:
RG 14 - General Register Office: 1911 Census Schedules
Glamorganshire
Pontypridd
RG 14/32401 - Registration Sub-District: Rhondda Civil Parish, Township or Place: Rhondda (part) RD...


Now go to the person search at:
http://www.1911census.co.uk/search/tnaform.aspx
and show the advanced fields.

We have to enter either a forename or a surname (neither of which we know) or a census ref, so we enter the census ref as rd589, plus the residential place as 43 Hillside Terrace, to get:
