As several of us have already said, this topic should have been on U.S. board not Tyrone.

James' birth certificate, if any, will list names of both parents. If, as might be the case, he was orphaned at a young age and raised mainly in Ireland then the details about his father he gave on marriage might be incorrect.

You can search for James in
- 1910 U.S. census (Family Search)
- Philadelphia church records (Ancestry)
- incoming U.K. passenger lists (Ancestry & Find My Past)

Once you get more accurate details THEN you can search for him in Tyrone or Ireland.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Thanks Hallmark, I have went through the Irish census many times and fallowed up that Antrim Hughes I found three James Hughes who came out of America with a female and had a father named Henry but none was my James, couldn't believe there was three but as I say I tracked them down and one went back to the states and I think the others died before my grandfather. The problem is I don't have his proper DOB on his death record it is a guess 1908 no month
