No there isn't a Portsmouth in Wales..........you have to take into account the fact the the Ancestry transcribers are not familiar with UK geography.... |

The image shows the birthplace to be Newport Monmouthshire............although 'Portsmouth' has been squeezed in just above this........... |

It looks like an arrow has been drawn from his name to the ditto marks squeezed in above the place name. The enumertor has written the place names one line out.I think it should be Portsmouth Hampshire |

If you look at the actual image, the census taker made a mistake. |
