There is a birth registered quarter ending July 1931 for a J.P.H. in Anglesey, mother's maiden name given as Pritchard.

According to the free GRO search, he is John Pritchard Hughes.   Confirms the middle name.

Hughes and Pritchard are both very common names in Wales, so we may not have identified the correct marriage.

But I am confused what we are looking for?  Was the son born around 1930 a Pritchard or a Hughes?  Was he the one who emigrated to Canada or did the parents as well?

I'm with you on this!

One problem is that on the 1939 the John P HUGHES born 1931 seems to be the son of Catherine M HUGHES (nee PRITCHARD) and Robert HUGHES. The parents both die in Wales.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. We believe John to have been illegitimate but possibly took the Hughes surname when Shan married

Additionally we think Shan had a sister called Eileen

Kind regards
