Hi
Does anyone know where/ if  I can find info on someone who was working as a custon house officer in north wales & possibly Liverpool area approx 1890 -1900. would there  be official records held somewhere ?

The name is Robert Wynne Hughes and is listed as the father on my  GG Grandfathers marriage cert in 1895 ( Also listed  as father on GG uncles MArriage cert 1892 )

any help appreciated as I canot find birth record for GG Gfather or GG uncle and cannot find Robert Wynne Hughes on any census . I am not sure if he existed or was he made up by the boys mother ???

Dorset / Barnes Otherwise Fry
« on: Thursday 18 August 11 22:08 BST (UK)  »
Hi ...

I am trying to figure out why My GGGGGrandfather  suddenly changed his name from Barnes to Fry .

There are baptism and marriage records from the same parish ( Spetisbury Dorset )  for around  the same  time as my Ancestor for people known as  Barnes otherwise Fry and I think that there must be a link but have not been able to prove it yet.

 My question is  Why would a person be known as  Barnes otherwise Fry. ???

Thanks

I am trying to find info on Robert George Byron.  He was in Barry South Glamorgan  approx 1945  and was working as a hairdresser. Believed to be living at Phyllis St Barry.
He may have been born approx 1905 

The only Birth I can find for someone of this name is in Nottingham 1904. ( also a death in Nottingham 1982 )

Please someone check the trade directory or electoral roll for me or point me in the right direction. 

Any help appreciated
