I have looked online but there are so many sarah's in liverpool its very hard to find which one is mine. which is why i thought it would b easy to go directly to the records

Hello



Hope this helps .....



C'von is Caernavonshire



William Hughes was born in CORWEN which was in Merionthshire now Denbighshire



Do you know anything else about the family?



Elsabels

All i know is his daughter sarah ellen hughes Married twice. First time aroun 1898-1901 they had a daughter minnie. Her second marriage in 1907 was to my g grandfather david rees, they had a son william rees



In all the census records i have found (up to 1911) she says she was born in liverpool



They seemed to have moved around alot

Being in bangor, swansea, carmarthenshire. Her father william hughes was a plasterer. I do not know her mothers maiden name as i cannot find sarah's birth or the parents marriage

the family in 1891

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin...v=try&h=221333

in 1901 william hughes is a widow living in carmarthenshire

so between 1891 and 1901 ellen has died.



I have found a death for a ellen hughes 1896 dec age 62 in swansea 11a 489

in 1891 they lived in swansea. in the 1891 she says she 56 so they age is a match

Hello



Sounds as if you have a match for Ellen Hughes death, just been on line to see where you live.....S Wales.



So yes they have moved around, i know Liverpool is a hard area to search for records, however Bangor with Hughes / Jones /Evans etc is just as hard,



I'll have a quick look around now!

The pennies just dropped, Ellen was born in the town of Caernavon, Caernavonshire!



Maybe the marriage is in that town......



Elsabels

SArah Ellen married JOHN EVANS 03/1898 Swansea 11A /1094



1901 census RG13 5072 with husband and dau Minnie aged 2



I cannot find a birth for 'Minnie' so suspect this was a 'pet name'



She married David Rees in Dec 1907 at Neath



Have a look at this site Lancashirebmd.org.uk. I am not sure how upto date it is with the recording, but may help, sholud have given it you first time round!!!
