Ashwell HUGHES emigrated from England to Austrailia after 1935
« on: Wednesday 22 April 09 20:32 BST (UK) »
Hi

This is a long shot I know but I believe that my gran's great uncle (uncle Ashwell as he was known)  emigrated to Australia.  Here are his details.

Ashwell HUGHES  or John Ashwell Hughes  born 1905 in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England married Elsie Bruton in 1935 (in England) I am not sure when they emigrated exactly but it was after their marriage in 1935.  There may have been a daughter called Carol.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thank you
Graham

I cannot see a death in Victoria up  to 1984, but  his parents names  would be  helpfull  to  look  for  his  death.

I  cannot see him on our National Archives as serving in WW2 either

Hi Jenn

Thanks for your interest.  Ashwell's parents were William Hughes and Leah (nee Jones).

Hope this helps.   

Best wishes
Graham
