Not sure where you got Barry Island from. He is in Sully, which is a place near Cardiff. There is no further address, 28 refers to the schedule number, not an address. Quite often, villages and small places didn't have addresses as such on the census. It's only London and built up areas that give roads and house numbers.

Barry Island is off the coast of Barry Vale of Glamorgan. Hope that helps
