Post by: nessie789 on Thursday 01 March 18 22:03 GMT (UK)
Does anyone know what district Llaniestyn would come under. Looking for a Jane Hughes born there abt 1853 - caernarfonshire of merionethshire?

The 1852 entry - mothers maiden name (mmn) was Owen
1853 - mmn was Parry
1854 - no mmn so probably illegitimate

Thank you all much appreciated. I have a Jane Hughes born 1853 Llaniestyn marrying a John Griffith Roberts  born 1855 N.K. Merionethshire  living in Llandwrog in 1891. Still trying to work it out. Am waiting for a couple of certificates which should help but may not you never know!

Wow thank you!  Jane is listed as aged 37/47/57 in the census for each year and I had her birth as 1853/4.
