Hughes Family Buttington Montgomeryshire
« on: Thursday 16 August 18 15:32 BST (UK) »
Hi I am doing some research for a cousin with surname hughes.

Her ggg grandfather was a john hughes born 1830 Buttington and his father was a robert hughes born 1797 Buttington.
A funny story has been passed down the hughes family that an ancestor was hung for sheep stealing.
His name was (don't know how to spell it ) Malagulva Charlie . ! haha!

Im wondering if the first name is actually a place or parish or small area around or near Buttington ?
Perhaps the word was welsh ?
Would there be any local records of Hangings ?

Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions
Chris

Yes That's an idea thankyou. The last person hung for sheep stealing was around 1830 so i assume sometime before that.

Thankyou for the information about this Hughes line. So i have Robert hughes married to a Margaret Davies. I found a Baptism on FindMyPast stating his parents were an Elizabeth Hughes and Edward Griffiths.Baptised 1797 in Buttington,hes shown as illegitimate.

Cant find anymore about this Elizabeth though :(
