Hi
There is a death registration for a Hannah Morris:
June q, 1905, Oswestry v 6a p 430
(Weston Rhyn/St Martins were part of the Oswestry RD)
Have you checked the Morris family on the 1901, also marriages for both couples. The Boycotts could be family or neighbours.

Oh dear
A birth reg for Hugh Morris - June q, 1905, Oswestry v 6a p 698 (also one in Dec q but I think that is someone else given the death reg)

It wasn't that unusual for a new born baby to be taken in by a family member, close friend or neighbour if the mother had died.
I think this is the investigative line that you should take. What was Hannah's maiden name, who were the Boycotts relatives, who did they live close to in 1901, etc. ?

Hi Kate Annie
I see on the 1901 that Hugn and Hannah's older children were called Charles and Elizabeth and Hugh was born Trefonen.
I'm sure that there is a link with the Elizabeth Morris or Hugh and James were workmates . I'll try and work through the censuses to see what I can find. I'm starting to do an investigation of coal miners movements' between the North Wales coalfield (including St Martins) and the Durham coalfield. Some of my ancestors relatives did the same.
I note that Hugh senior had married fairly soon after Hannah died so maybe Annie wasn't prepared to look after the new born baby

In 1871, Hugh Morris is in Trefonen with his parents, Edward and Elizabeth:
RG10/2781/13/19
I'm not sure if it's the same Elizabeth although there are some matching features. The 1901 one was 72 and b. Meifod (which is Montgomeryshire). The 1871 one was 45 and b. Montgomeryshire.

I think it is 
In 1881, Hugh and mother Elizabeth are in Weston Rhyn:
RG11/2660/39/6
Elizabeth is aged 56, widow, b. Meifod, Montgomeryshire
and with them is Thomas, aged 6, b. St Martins - he is still with his mother on the 1901 one that you referred to.
So it looks as if the Boycott's were neighbours of Hugh Morris's mother and took Hugh's son when Hannah died.

what's more on the 1881 the Morris's were at 1 Phillip's Square and the Boycotts (Bycotts) were at 5 Phillip's Square, so Hugh and James had known each other for quite a while.
Good luck with your other line. I'm not bad on Scotland or that paricular area of North Wales/Shropshire but know very little about Ireland

Added - I see you have Denbighshire Parrys - which part?

I dont know if its the same Hugh Morris but my gran is Gwen Morris b 1907, her father was Thomas morris, a son of Edward and Elizabeth Morris. It appears my grans parents had a child out of wedlock and I think he was called Hugh but he was born in 1902ish.
