Hi
I've traced my ggg grandmother Elizabeth Hughes to Lancashire. Her mother also called Elizabeth (don't know her maiden name , if anyone out there has a connection, could you please let me know).
Elizabeth married Robert Hughes, their children were Robert, Frank, Edith and Elizabeth.
I've found some census details as follows:
1861
Robert Hughes Head 52 Merchant something? Lower Chorlton, Lancs
Elizabeth Hughes Wife 45 Denton. Lancs
Robert Hughes Son 16 Manchester Lancs
Edith Hughed Dau 12 Manchester, Lancs
3 Servants
RG9/2874 Folio 18 Page 30
1861 cecsus
I don't know where Frank was on this census but he appears on the 71 one. Robert senior must have died as Elizabeth is listed as a widow on the 71 cencus.
Frank is listed on a later report with his wife and children
Frank HUGHES
Head M Male 34 Manchester, Lancashire, England Wollen Cloth Merchant (S & Ple)
Emmeline HUGHES
Wife M Female 34 Manchester, Lancashire, England
Henry HUGHES
Son Male 2 Manchester, Lancashire, England
Emily G. HUGHES
Daur Female 1 Timperley, Cheshire, England
Mary J. MURDOCH
Servt Female 13 Manster, Lancashire, England Nurse (Domestic)
If anyone could check the 1851 census reports to see where they are. Also if you have details of Roberts parents and Elizabeths maiden name and would be grateful. All search tips are welcome. If anyone has come across the above in their tree, I'm more than happy to give the little information I have found so far.
Regards
Caroline
