Failiure to register a birth only became a fineable offence in 1874/75. If there is no birth on freebmd then it was unregistered. Presume you have already tried under Lewis just in case?
-
Yes done that I seem to be at a brick wall thanks
-
I can't find William Lewis Hughes for definite before the 1871 Census.
Regards
William Russell Jones.

Why would they bother to have him baptised if don't register the death. Can't find any info on his parents if they got married or not. Edward Lewis. And Elizabeth Hughes. Edward was on Williams marriage certificate can't find any more. Thanks
-
I've picked out only a possible for Edward Lewis in the 1851 census.He is showing as an unmarried son of a George and Ann Lewis and is lliving in Brymbo/Broughton.

Where did the baptism of George take place. Was he born in Stoke on Trent.

That's William but need to find his parents. On his baptism it states illegitate son of father Edward Lewis. Mother Elizabeth Hughes but don't know if they got married
-
So the Edward Lewis in 1851 that I found is definitely a possible.The 1841 Census for the area is missing.

There is a tree on Ancestry that has William Lewis Hughes
Birth 05 AUG 1848 Broughton, Denbighshire
Death BET. JANMAR 1929 Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire
His parents are Edward Hughes and Mary Parry.
William Lewis Hughes marries Mary Ann Dodd (1847 - 1874) they have a son
Robert William Hughes Dec qtr 1867
18 Dec 1875 William Lewis Hughes 28 married Sarah Ann Burndred at Northwood, Stafford,
The problem here is that this tree has the same census that I found and thought was wrong.
So I`m still not able to be sure about anything.

Just to state that other people`s trees should NOT be relied on as accurate, you should use them as clues and check it all up yourself. :)
