As you probably know, the most likely entry in FreeBMD is a birth of a Harry
PONSONBY in June quarter of 1856 in the registration district of Newport,
Mon.
Some parts of this district, like Rumney and St. Mellons, are now suburbs of
Cardiff, so if he was in Yorkshire might well have given the nearest large
town to where he was born as Cardiff.
He is not in Glamorgan 1861 census. In Swansea there was a 50-year-old
pauper widow Margaret PONSONBY, 50, born Ireland, and also at a different
address an unmarried 18-year-old servant Mary PONSOBY b Swansea.
"This lookup was made using material published by Glamorgan Family History
Society, details of membership and their research service with a full list
of published indexes and transcriptions for sale can be seen on

Hope this helps

Subject: [WALES-GEN] PONSONBY in Wales & Derby
Hiya list,
have just joined to see if I can get any help with my Great grandfather
HARRY/HENRY PONSONBY born circa 1859 Cardiff, Wales.
Looking for any more siblings & 1841/1851/1861/1871 Census details if
possible.
His parents my 2xGr grandparents were ROBERT & MARY both born Bakewell,
Derby are on the 1881 Census living Brightside, Bierlow.
HARRY/HENRY came to Pontefract (bringing the PONSONBY name) & married a
local lass HARRIET BAGGAN 17 Feb. 1879 They had I believe 13 children.
I have them on the 1881/1891/1901 Census with children all born
Pontefract.
They both died in Pontefract 1925 a few months apart.
I can offer help with Pontefract area as thank you.
take care,
Maureen
