In the 1891 Census for Carew, Pembrokeshire, there are the ancestors of my son-in-law. Everyone on the page spoke English and only one person spoke both languages and she was the oldest, but under 60.
In the 1970s a married couple I knew went to Wales as the husband was offered a very good job near Cardiff. His wife was a Domestic Science teacher but she was unable to get a teaching job as they were prioritising Welsh speakers. Her maiden name was Jones and her father was Welsh.
