Marriage Reg Holywell

[par50]

Hi.
Can any-one help with a Marriage reg in Holywell. 1874. A Hugh Hughes married a Louisa Petch. I know Louisa's father was Edward Petch. but not Hugh's Father. and am trying to find out if its my family from Gwernaffield. as Louise's parents and daughter are buried in Gwernaffield.  Pam

According to the censuses the couple were living in Gwernafield, and Hugh Hughes says he was born Mold.

Hi,
On the NWBMD website it is listed as a Civil Marriage, you need the Certificate for the details.
Regards,
Megran.

Hi Silvery. Hope you don't mind me asking but which census did you find them on. I have Hugh with his parents on the 1851 but haven't found him since. Thanks for your help. I will have another look. Pam

A likely one is on this census for Wales   RG9/4268/12/25

for Hugh Hughes.  It says Cilsen, which is Cilcain, very close to both Gwernaffield and Mold.

Your best bet is to get the marriage cert (found in freebmd)

September quarter 1874
Holywell district, vol 11b page 371
with a Hugh Hughes and Louisa Petch in the two couples.

this will give you the names of the fathers and their occupations.

page two, delivery details
page three, fill in red-starred bits only.
