This would be the marriage in West Glamorgan in 1953

HUGHES Daniel B L and JONES Monica R, SEP QTR, 1953, W.Glamorgan 8b 1905. I am guessing the B stands for Berwyn.

Daniel B L Hughes probable birth

HUGHES, DANIEL  BERWYN LEWIS mmn LEWIS       
GRO Reference: 1927  D Quarter in LLANDILOFAWR  Volume 11A  Page 1682

And his death

Daniel Berwyn L Hughes born 28 Aug 1927 died age 79 Mar 2006 “Carmarthen” B50F 818/1B 029

I think this his him in 1939 with his parents and sister L T L Hughes

Monica in 1939? https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discoveryui-content/view/40757162:61596?tid=&pid=&queryId=5e74dc18-2428-47a9-8334-11065dfe47d0&_phsrc=XQW22&_phstart=successSource

If so, this would be her birth: Jones Monica R mmn Rees, Sep Qtr 1931,  Llanelly 11a 1641

As Mary Ann Evans was adopted by Rees' and Monica's mother was a Rees I wonder if that is where the connection lays?

Randomly searching around I found this on Ancestry https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discoveryui-content/view/1731456239:8960?tid=&pid=&queryId=0910b0cb-940f-4209-87b5-306f90dcc650&_phsrc=XQW21&_phstart=successSource . It gives little specific information, but refers to obituaries 2004 onwards. This one specifically for a Monica Rees Hughes of Llannon Road, Pontyberem, husband Berwyn, son Nigel. Perhaps others can find more specific information and/or with your local knowledge it might ring a bell. Certainly I don’t think there are many Monica/Berwyn combinations around.

I would guess Lili Maud was Lilian Maud. Surnames would be very useful. Berwyn could be a middle name, as could Moni.

Could also be Mooney (Irish name?)? I don’t think it’s them but the only thing remotely close I can find is the marriage of an Alwyn Berwyn Hughes to a Minnie Quiggin in 1894 in Liverpool. Alywyn was born 30 Dec 1866 (1939 register) and was a shipping director. In 1939 was in Holylake, Cheshire. Census records say he was born in Liverpool and  his birth is registered in W. Derbyshire and Toxteth Park. Alwyn Berwyn does sound Welsh and his father John Hughes was from Denbigh.

Might be worth asking if Moonie could possibly have been Irish. A guesstimate of Berwyn and Moonie’s ages would also be useful and what year(s) are we talking about for these visits

IF him, in Ancestry electoral rolls in 1962 he lives in Abertonllwyd Street, Treherbert with a David W Hughes and a Dorothy Hughes presumably his parents. In later electoral roles he is in Cardiff with a Carole Hughes and a Berwyn Hughes and a Carole Rich marry in Cardiff in 1971. A David W Hughes and Mary Morgan marry in Pontypridd in 1936

This tree on Ancestry has more on this family https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/tree/117761763/family?cfpid=192558914306 but, as said earlier it could all be a red herring and I am barking up the wrong tree (enough metaphors for one night!)

There aren’t many Berwyn Hughes around. Could be a red herring but there is Berwyn Hughes born 1937 Pontypridd mmn Morgan
