Hello Emyr.
Happy New Year.
You've given me a great start for 2010 with these new records but like Oliver Twist, I'm asking for More!!
The death on 21 May 1822 of Richard Hughes of Hafod y Llyn ties in with his baptism on 22 Mar 1805 that you advised on 28 Nov.
My first extra question -- was his date of burial shown?
In addition to Richard, you've advised on 12 Nov the baptism of Daniel (25 May 1801), on 16 Nov that of Robert (26 Sep 1809) & on 28 Nov that of William (31 May 1807) -- in all four cases the parents being Edward Hughes & his wife Catherine/Cath.
I'm thus as sure as I can be, that the wedding between Edward Hughes & Catherine Williams, widow on 3 Dec 1879 is that of my 3xg g/parents.
As my 3xg gm was a widow, this still leaves open what her maiden surname was -- and, of course, she could have been born, married & lived with her first husband either in/ near to Nantmor or anywhere in the surrounding area.
My second extra question -- was there any more information shown about Edward & Catherine on the registration record?
In the 1841 Wales Census there is a total of 13 Hughes living in Nantmore, in just four Households:-
1) At Hafod Llyn, my 2xg g/parents Daniel Hughes & his wife Jane, their first two children & Daniel's brother Robert.
2) At Sygun Issa (or Isfa?), Dorothy Hughes, a Pauper aged 35 & so probably a widow, with what I'm sure are her four children
3) At Caccan of the Ty Hen (my best guess), John Hughes a Farmer aged 25 with his wife Catherine
4) At Sygun anol?, William Hughes, a Miner, Copper Mine aged 25 living with the family of John & Gaynor Williams
I'm moving into pure speculation but if Dorothy was the widow of Daniel's brother William (he would have been 34 at the time of the 1841 Census) it only leaves two 'unaccounted for' Hughes, who could have been children of sibling(s) of Edward -- with the parents of Edwards & his sibling(s) being the David Hughes, widower & Elizabeth Jones, spinster who married on 3 Dec 1879.
My third extra question -- was there was there any more information shown about David & Elizabeth on the registration record?
My final request -- please pass on anything you find about any Hughes at any Nantmor (or even Beddgelert) location on any record that you come across.
I can only say how fantastic is it to receive all this information that you've so generously looked up for me. It has taken my Hughes line well beyond where I ever though I'd get to.
My very best wishes & regards, Rob
