Translation from Welsh
« on: Monday 12 October 15 08:08 BST (UK) »
Hello, I believe this is my grandfather Thomas John Williams on the 1911 census, I don't speak Welsh but it looks like he was a boarder (??) along with his sister Jane, can anybody please translate the rest into English for me.  TIA.
