Info from Jeff Coleman from his sources (31.8.06)
In 1901 census he seems to be in Cambridge Class: RG13; Piece: 1531; Folio:
73; Page: 24. Source:-Ancestry lodging at 6 Norwich Street as 'Undergraduate
at Cambridge University' along with a Jenkin JONES from Cardiganshire. He
had two rooms.

Alumni Cantabrigiensis is a list of past students at Cambridge University
and Ancestry has a search of it online.

I turned this up. Note that as in the census Ystradyfodwg proved a bit much
for an English writer. He seems to have been a 'non-collegiate student'
which probably means he was attached to a theological college such as Ridley
Hall which were not part of the University at the time.
