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:

Helen are you able to give me any information on William? My dad doesn't seem to even remember him or hearing about him .

Hi Helen. I'm Gwyneths youngest grandchild!! It's Kerry who went to South Africa!! My dad is Gwyneths son Alun. Xx

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.

There were 10 children all together: Ieuan, William, Glyn, Marina, Gwyneth, Enoch, Arwena, Marie, Idris and Alun :-)

Hi Kelly, My grandfather was Ieuan Griffiths, Maries brother from Wattstown. My mum may have info for you. She asks if you are the Kelly that moved to South Africa?
Helen

I think you maybe right

Think you need a trip to the library local to that address and check the names on the electoral register.

Wonder if she was a neighbour or family friend and she got called Auntie

My dad is adamant she is his Aunt, sister of his mother but I'm not so sure as I've been looking and looking for information. After the 1911 census there were another 2 children born, Iddris Griffiths and Alun Griffiths. Still no mention of Marie

We believe she never married . Died early 1990s in The Rhondda, no children. Not much to go on I know

Did she marry ?

Any idea of when and where she died ?

Was Marie a middle name ?

I do know that in the 1930s Marie lived at 43 Hillside Terrace. Which is why I was hoping in the 1911 cenus there may have been a Marie living there incase she isn't actually my Nans sister!!!!

My Nan is/was Gwyneth Griffiths.

Marie was born around 1911 give or take a year or two

That is the right family just no details anywhere for Marie. Thank you so very much for all this information you are finding

?? only because the 1911 census says married 1899

Do you mean Marie born 1908-1914 or her parents ?

Have you found any possible births on FreeBMD ?

I'm having great difficulty finding details for my Great Aunt. I can't find any for her. Marie Griffiths, parents were Thomas and Catherine Griffiths, born around 1908-1914. From Rhondda, Wattstown .
