Hi

As Jehoida was born before 1881 you will find him on the 1881 census with his family

The 1881 is free to search yourself at www.familysearch.org or www.ancestry.co.uk

I hope this link will work to take you to the entry

What sort of information are you looking for on Jehoida?

There's this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehoida_Hodges

and the 1891 census in which he's still in Risca employed as an "engine driver colliery" (Joseph J Hodges: RG12/4380/25/9)

and a birth registration on FreeBMD:

Joseph Jehoida HODGES
Sep qtr 1876
Newport M 11a 216


and no doubt much more! Depends what you're seeking.

Jehoida Hodges played for Newport Rugby Football Club.  He was very well known in his day and played for Wales in a famous victory when he had to play out of position due to injury.  He was a captain of Newport and his name appears on the 'Captains' Board' in the Newport clubhouse.  There are also photographs of him there.
A couple of years ago there wasa an appeal to clean/restore his neglected gravestone in a Risca cemetary.

If you want access to Newport clubhouse then I can arrange for you to visit.  I can also put you in touch with the Newport RFC historian who has lots of info.

There are a couple of pictures on the site - one from a cigarette card.  I bought that cigarette card on ebay a few years ago and still have it.
