I am trying to find a birth or baptism record for my 3x greatgrandfather Richard Hughes. Richard was born in Llanbadrig in 1816 and his parents were David Hughes and Ann Owen. Sadly all very widely used names. I have a marriage cert for Richard and Mary for 1842 but I am having problems with any information earlier than that.
Any help or guidance would be wonderful.
Regards to all.

On the marriage cert what is the father's occupation?
Who were witnesses???
Do you have Richard and Mary on any census ??
Where did you find Richard's p.o.b.???

Hi Suzard, thank you for replying so quickly. The marriage for Richard Hughes and Mary Roberts was held at (I think) Pawt Colly, Llanbadrick. Richard was a Carpenter and the witnesses were (I think) brother Owen Hughes and William Williams. Richard's father, David Hughes was a Tailor. Mary's father was Robert Roberts, a farmer. Richard and Mary can be found on the 1851 census with 3 children now living in Liverpool, Toxteth Park.
Hope you can help.
Kind regards

Hi purchase of a few credits on FindMyPast who I believe have Anglesey baptisms/original copies?

Just a word of caution with FindMyPast and Llanbadrig parish records. Quite a number of the records for Llanbadrig are incorrect. Make sure it is Llanbadrig and not Llanbedrgoch which is a parish on the east side of Anglesey near Pentraeth.
Annoyingly I have been caught out a couple of times, so be certain its the right one before you use your credits.

Hi,
I have a Gwynedd FHS booklet for births and baptisms pre 1837 for the Calvanistic Methodists in Anglesey, and whilst there is no sign of Richard Hughes at Llanbadrig (Capel Bethlehem) it does shows a baptism of an Owen Hughes on 23 August 1819 - parents David (a tailor) and Anne Owen. Address shown as Ty Newydd Garregcefn. Possibly your Richards brother?
David's parish is Llanbadrig; Anne's is Llanallgo.

Again,though it is a pay website and I don't have membership there is an 1816 baptism of Richard Hughes,Anglesey on a circuit that includes Llanbadrig in the non conformist registers at www.bmdregisters.co.uk.I don't know whether the image/detail would be any different from that already quoted.

Hi,
I have noticed from the 1861 census that Richard's elder brother Hugh is also with the family in Liverpool.
Looking for his birth/baptism in Llanbadrig around 1814 led me to look at Familysearch.org and this suggests that the birth place could be Llanfflewyn -
Hugh - christened 5 June 1814 at Llanfflewyn
Richard - christened 24 November 1816 at Llanfflewyn
Owen - christened 5 Sept 1819 at Llanbadrig
All three show the parents as David and Ann and their address for Owen's christening was Ty Newydd Carregcefn which is about 3 miles from Llanfflewyn.
I know it isn't easy getting the right family connection with the names being so common but offer this as food for thought. Just to make it more difficult there is a christening for a Hugh Hughes in Llanbadrig in Oct 1815 but this doesn't quite fit with the 1861 census which shows his age as 47 (hence the leaning towards the 1814 christening in Llanfflewyn)
