Looking for information on Hughes Maes y Gwyddau 1850s. Thank you.
-
Hi and welcome to Rootschat, as you would appreciate Hughes is a very common surname in all Wales, are their any particular families you are interested in?
A Hughes family I have located are showing Rhoscolyn as their place of birth but residing in the transcribed Maesygwydda, but not all the Hughes families are Rhoscolyn/Maesygwydda?

Some of the Hughes family at Maesygwydda, Rhoscolyn are found there for each of the censuses 1851 -1901. The house is referred to as Maesygwydda in the census information but usually as Maesygwyddau in Rhoscolyn parish baptismal records.
The family consist of:
William Hughes, father, bc 1818; wife Ann (formerly Jones) bc 1816; children John 1842, Elizabeth 1844, Margaret 1846, Mary 1848, William 1854, Thomas 1856/7, Edward 1859, Richard bc 1861.
William Hughes died at Maesygwydda on 10 Jan 1904 aged 85, Anne died there 17 Mar 1900 aged 83.
Is this the family you are searching for?
There is another house in Llanfwrog, Anglesey named Maesygwydda/Maesygwyddau in BMD records but their name is not Hughes.

Thank you dragon T, yes that is exactly the Hughes household I'm interested in.
Do you have access to the St Gwenfaen baptismal records or any other post 1911 census Rhoscolyn records?

Hi PAHINMD

Thank you both for your help and interest.
The Welsh newspapers on line link is a great help.
My main interest is my grandparents/greatgrandparents from the Rhoscolyn area (descendants of William Hughes b. 1818).
After 1911 census showing them at Maes y Gwyddau Rhoscolyn would like to fill in the gaps between residence at Maes y Gwyddau and Glan Gors Rhoscolyn and afterwards at Tros yr Allt (near Llyn Traffwll).

Can you tell us which of the children of William Hughes b.1818 is your ancestor? I will try to trace subsequent generations (including post-1911 data).
-
Thank you - son of William Hughes (b 1818), is Hugh (b 1850) he appears at Maes y Gwyddau Rhoscolyn married to Ann (b 1849) is my closest relative (grandfather's parents).

Re. Welshnewspapers on line, is "Hugh Hughes, Tros yr Allt, Bryngwran or Caergeiliog" (near Llyn Traffwll) "your" Hugh?
A couple of mentions as prizewinner showing chickens (but pre 1900).

Re. Hugh Hughes Tros yr Allt (1898 North Wales Express - poultry) - I have Tros yr Allt as being in Caergeiliog Lllanfairynneubwll on a marriage certificate from the 1940s, so don't know if the poultry report is much help (it says Bryngwran), cannot see him on 1901 or 1911 census. There's a Hugh Hughes at Castell Holyhead (near Trearthur Bay) in 1881 census, don't know if that's him!
Thanks for your help.

There is a marriage at St Cybi's Church Holyhead on 24 May 1872 between Hugh Hughes,22, mariner of Maesgwyddau, Rhoscolyn son of William Hughes mariner and Anne Williams, 24, of Kingsland, Holyhead dau. of John Williams, labourer. Hugh Hughes signed, Anne Williams by mark. Witnesses William Jones, Margaret Hughes both by mark.
I think the Hugh Hughes at Castell in 1881 is him. Looking for children of this marriage in Anglesey registered births I can find none before 1881 and only two after:
Hugh, son of Hugh Hughes, Ann Williams 24 July 1881 - Holyhead
Mary, dau. of Hugh Hughes, Ann Williams 17 Dec 1883 - Holyhead
I haven't found the family in censuses after 1881.
Hugh Hughes born 8 Apr 1850 at Rhoscolyn, baptism 12 May 1850 also Rhoscolyn.

Castell Farm is in Rhoscolyn which borders T Bay on the road to lillypond bay I believe that the farm belonged to the Plas estate Rhoscolyn

cae howell,
Thanks, another lead perhaps - am trying hard not to get too confused with so many same names/locations.

Tros Yr Rallt is on the back road from RAF Valley to Bryngwran and could be in the district of Llechylched

Hello
I am also currently researching a Hughes family from Rhoscolyn.
I’m not sure if it is the same one you are discussing?
Please if you can assist me in any way it will be very much appreciated.
Is the Hughes family you are discussing the Hughes family that lived in Rhoscolyn in Fron Deg House. Hughie Lloyd Hughes son of Hugh Hughes 1848-1914.
