I'm presuming you have access to FindMyPast?

If so there are a number of parishes of interest that are not on there, in particular the Chapel at Trelystan (only at Shropshire Archives). Also near by are Churchstoke and Hyssington. There are also gaps for Shropshire in the IGI, Rattlinghope & Melverley in particular in that area.

You should check these. They are all only available at Shropshire Archives, except Rattlinghope, BTs for which are at Hereford.

Also could be that the marriage wasn't recorded, is some distance away, transcribed wrong etc.

Hello David64 Thank you for responding.
Access to FindMyPast? Find My Past not sure.
Spend too much time in Shropshire archives and I think I have exhausted all the records in the different parishs. Have worked on all Hughes's on Western Salop.
Trelystan Parish or chapel is not earlier enough for my marriages.
Not on IGI or Boyd's.
From red book of Mont. marriages at Aber. I have 2 possibles but another trip back to Aber I think.
John Hughes m Jana Maurice 30 June 1726 Llanrhaiadr
John Hughes m Jane Hughes 16 May 1735 Llanfyllin

David also feel I need to look at Bishop's transcripts. Especially for Buttington Parish. Hughes's of Hope.

[david64]

FindMyPast has transcriptions of the majority of Montgomeryshire parish records to at least 1837, including Buttington. They include BTs, though I am unsure if all BTs have been used or just ones to fill in the gaps. I have a feeling it may be the latter.

Regarding Trelystan, I'm not sure how far back the original registers go, but the Bishop's Transcripts go back to 1638 then 1660. There is also the issue of the chapel of Penrhos in Llandrinio. I'm not sure if there are BTs for this and I think there are quite a few gaps.

Some mar.s from Trelystan:

Edward Hughs m 26 Jun 1729 Beatrix Hughs
Richard Pursel m by banns 14 Jan 1730/1 Anna Hughs

Have you checked the register for Ratlinghope? Originals are lost, but there is a transcript from BTs at Shropshire Archives.

You obviously no this area of research very well.
 It seems I will have to do work on Bishop's transcripts.
Ratlinghope have not researched for Hughes but for other lines of my family, could be worth a try. Although I think my earliest Hughes's are in the Buttington and Hope area. Have also researched Hughes's in the Welshpool Parish transcripts at Salop archives.

Hi I was wondering if you have this family in your tree?


Mary Rogers married John Hughes 14th
May 1829 at All Saints,
Buttington

Mary & John
had four children, Thomas 1831
who became a wool
manufacturer in
Montgomeryshire; William
1833; John 1836 who also
became a wool manufacturer in
partnership with his brother
Thomas, and Maurice, 1840who became a school
inspector and married Mary Lloyd from Worthen
in Shropshire. Alas, no children seem to have been
born to this couple.
Thomas and John appear not to have married,
but were successful wool manufacturers. As for
William, he seems to have vanished in records

Hello Floozy

John Hughes married Mary Rogers on 14th May 1829 Buttington.
It is possible this John Hughes could be the son of William Hughes and Sarah Davies who married on 28th August 1781 Buttington.
I would have to look at the original record to prove a link.

I think the Rogers family have connections to Guilsfield Parish.

I obtained similar information you supplied, from a gentleman in Melbourne, Australia.

Hi,

that could have been a cuzz of mine Graham??


Here is a  roots chat link from my other thread
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,606546.0.html

Would that make us distant distant distant cousins??


Not sure about the Guilsfield parish though.  Alot came from around Forden and Buttington.
I already have links to Mary Rogers she is in our Rogers famil for sure.

many thanks  Floozy
