Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, this particular Hannah is her sister in law (married to her brother David Hughes).

Hi
I too have Hughes ancestors from Trelech. It is difficult to be sure which of the two families is which! Both families from Trelech parish were headed by John Hughes. Both John Hughes's had sons called David who were of similar age!
I have tried to sort out this problem and I purchased the marriage certificate (dated 1st May 1851) for David Hughes (later at Velindre) and his wife Hannah (nee Evans). It shows his father was John Hughes (labourer). My assumption has been that if David's father was John Hughes (shoemaker) then this skill/trade would be recorded instead on the marriage certificate under father's occupation.
What do you think?
I used to have contact with the descendants of David Hughes, Velindre, but not now. Some of his descendants used to live next door to my Gt Gt Grandparents at Dinas, Trelech.
This isn't the first time that there has been confusion about these two David Hughes's. It would be good to have more certainty about them.
