looking for john hughes wife and children

[rosie99]

Sorry, it was John you said you had found in 1871 though you mentioned a brother Thomas which probably means he was not your John if that Hugh & Ann are yours.

I am concerned though..
John's marriage gives his father as Hugh occupation Furnace Man.  The Hugh you have found is a Labourer in 1871.

Does your John appear on any census after he married with a possible parent or sibling.  The 1881 gives his birth place as Wrexham, where do later census say he was born.
