parents of Edwin Hughes of Wrexham

[Gadget]

I'm not sure about this one though as William is recorded as a collier rather than a tinsmith.

Wrexham marriages
17 May 1817
William Hughes and Mary Jones

Blame the lateness of the hour ~

I missed off a son from my previous 1841 list. It should read


Wrexham Regis, Eagles Meadow, ? off Salop Street.

William Hughes, 48, Tinsmith
Mary, 43
Thomas, 21, Tailor
William, 19
Henry, 19
Mary, 14
Edwin, 10
Jane, 7
Theophilus, 2

All born County

And

A GRO birth registration for a Theophilus Hughes,March Q. 1839.Wrexham. Mother's maiden name - Mitchell


So the parents could possibly be William Hughes and Mary, mn Mitchell.

So far, the Mitchells seem to be avoiding being found!

There seem to be at least two Mitchell families on the 1841 for Wrexham. As it's not a 'common' name in the area, it might be worth listing them

Wrexham Abbot - Tutle Street

Edward, 28, shoemaker
Sarah, 22
Henry, 5
Hannah, 2
Edwin, 2 months

Wrexham Regis, Seven Bridge Lane
Edward, 40, shoemaker
Mary, 41
Henry, 15, Coach painter's apprentice
Edward, 11
Alfred, 6
Caroline, 3
Walter, 4 mths

All are born county

I have some local records on my other computer and will see if there's anything there.
