Hi James, in instances of a marriage at that age and time my immediate thoughts when no apparent children are shown in the early years are Infant deaths, and more likely time spent in the Army etc.
Another thing re Robert Hughes the marriage occ does appear to say Fisherman, it was only my concern of a Fisherman in the middle of London, that made me suggest a Fishmonger or equivalent? !
The 1861 census in that part of London is notorious for missing census pages, and possibly by 1871 Robert had died, and his wife had remarried by the 1871?

Just thinking aloud, be interested in anyones thoughts.

Could Emma be born Canon Town?    Canning Town maybe as in earlier census?

Hi Sillgen, thanks for interest,  it is the location of Sarah Hughes with father Robert that my post above was relating to?!

Hello James,
I don't know if you are still engaged in your ancestry search, but I have just begun one and I believe we're searching for branches of the same tree.
"Uncle Charlie the safe cracker" was a favorite story in my family lore; my grandfather is a JWG who sold newspapers, married to Jean Winifred Moffatt (b. 21 Jan 1917).
If you are still getting messages here, or are still working on research, I'd love to connect.
