Where do you have Hugh Hughes (1819) on census and who did he marry and when/where.

Hello
I'm assuming Hugh Hughes married a Hannah ,most likely in 1841 at Holywell ,Flintshire ,probably a Hannah Jones in Dec qtr.
He may be with his mother Elizabeth born 1801 in the 1841 census at Nannerch, Holywell Fintshire.
The 30 May 1819 baptism at Halkyn gives occupation miner at Wain Brodlas Yseifiog ? parish

thanks for looking.
both of them do not sound correct
on the census in 1851 broughton it shows him born in ruabon and living with hannah wife.
have noticed that children seem to be in leeswood. wonder if they are all of flintshire. i did remember seeing a hugh of halkyn maybe.
sorry i am just having difficulty with it too.
thank you.brian

This is him according to the information you have given in 1851
Hugh Hughes 32 Labourer   born Ruabon
Hannah 31 bn Mold   
Mary 9, John 6, and Pearce 3 all born Leeswood, Flintshire
Elizabeth   1 bn Wrexham

Do you have Hannah's maiden name.  How do you know Hugh's father is John.

I wonder if this is Elizabeths birth reg
HUGHES, ELIZABETH       mmn PIERCE     
1850  March Quarter in WREXHAM  Volume 27  Page 274   

Maybe John
HUGHES, JOHN       mmn PIERCE     
1845  March Quarter in HOLYWELL  Volume 27  Page 259   Order
 

It would tie in with calling a son 'Pierce/Pearce'

Possible marriage at Hope in December 1841 between a Hugh Hughes - father Hugh Hughes and Anne Pierce father Robert Pierce

I will have a look to see if I can find anything to confirm this

that does sound as if it could be right.
the place of birth of hugh could have been gresford although it said ruabon it could easily be wrong.
thank you that makes a lot of sense
