Thanks Chris, I have just found a photograph on line of the Hobby family.  This internet is amazing, I googled Hobby family + Talgarth and found my way to the Powys archives site and on their Home page for 1891 is the Hobby family.

Unbelievable

Hi Roy,

Great news.
Now they have become more than names on a census.
