i think this is what you are looking for but it says dudley or duxley cottage on the 1901 census it would be 1 high st,i think,its occupants are
                  Eleanor Jones - head - widow - 54
                  William David Jones - son - single - 23 - stonemason
                  William Jones Evans - grandson - 3
           
                  hope this helps

Dudley Cottage was between 1 & 2 High St and was about 6 buildings away from Friendship Inn which would I guess be around 7 or 8 High Street.

hi all,had to register again,found most of what I was looking for re this family so thank you all  for your help.

@Scottra,if your family live in this cottage till 1966 ,you must be related to my SIL,would be nice if you could verify this
