Lewis Hughes / Mary Jones Llangollen

[bates]

Hi
I decided this NYE to have a poke around the Hughes family line.

I am stuck at Lewis Hughes born between 1835-1844  Llangollen Denbighshire who married Mary Jones (born Llangollen Denbighshire died 1895 Merthyr Tydfil) possibly around 1858.

I only have them in the 1871 living at 63 Hall St Llangollen with children Jane, Elizabeth Ann (MINE), Catherine, Edward and Thomas Richard.

I haven't been able to find them in any other Census. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

The Denbighshire records are on FindMyPast and it looks likely he is listed.

Hi Colin! 
Thank you that is FABULOUS.
I haven't made it to FindMyPast yet this evening.
This family seem to be my first ridgy-didge Welsh family.
My Elizabeth married a wannabe-welsh Templeman family.
My Great Grandmother's name was Tryphena which I've always said is welsh.
(I have her russet hair too).
I've been to Wales (well across the bridge and around the city) but really have no idea of the layout.  Such a long way to here in Australia.

I'm trying to find some online cemeteries to see if there are any Hughes family buried anywhere there in Denbighshire.

thank you again!

Burial records are also on FindMyPast for the county.

Tried to reply to your Dusty Docs. memo but I think it went into space.

If you want burials before 1837 try FindMyPast.

Hi and a happy new year from Wales.  I found the marriage of Lewis and Mary in Ruabon in 1863.  Lewis father was Thomas and Mary's was Edward.  I have attempted to attach a photo of the marriage cert.  Let me know if it doesn't work.
