Hi,
looking at it now,it looks like the first word is new,but I cant make out the second word.
The marriage was in st peters church in Blaina.
I've never been able to find them in the census before they got married.

Definitely Newtown.

Newtown are the houses at the end of New Church Road just past Ebbw Vale rugby ground.

Just a thought.

Blaenau Gwent Rows in Abertillery were originally called Newtown.
 
You say he was married in St Peters Blaina. Distance from Blaenau Gwent Rows to St Peters about 2 miles from Newtown in Ebbw Vale about 5 miles.
