Hughes Family, Co. Laois - Look up request please

Hi,

Trying to obtain further information on this line of my tree after the 1911 census provided more precise information reagarding the place of origin of my great, great grandfather.

The 1911 England Census has Patrick Hughes (born 1851 - consistent with 1881 and 1901 census data, these being the only other two he appears on) from (almost certain it reads...) Ballintogher, Co. Queens.

A copy of the text can be seen here:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,352946.0.html

On Patrick's 1880 marriage certificate, his father's down as Laughlin Hughes.

I've also just searched the recently uploaded Irish Civil Registration records on Familysearch, and discovered that a Laughlin Hughes died in 1894, aged 73 (born c.1821), with the death being registered in Mountmellick Registration District.

This would seem to be a very good potential match for Patrick's father given that Ballintogher is within Mountmellick PLU and that Patrick's father is not stated as being deceased on the 1880 marriage certificate.

I also know that Laughlin potentially married twice, as I'm told that Patrick's mother died when he was a young child. Laughlin allegedly remarried, Patrick did not get on with his step-mother, so relocated to Liverpool to work on the Docks.....

Might anyone be able to help in locating any further records relating to these Birth or marriage events??

Regards

Paul
