Thanks Pat. I do have all the census info. The maiden name of Mary is Jones
per her daughter's death record.
This Hughes family immigrated to the U.S. about 1870? I do not find the
husband/father with them and since the last child buried in the state of
Pennsylvania, in the U.S. was born 1864-1866 in Wales, I am under the belief that David
Hughes died bet 1864-1870 in Cilycwm as that was where they were in 1861. I
have tried the freebmd site but like you said it is hard to determine such a
common name as David Hughes.
I have been able to locate in the U.S. his wife Mary, daughter Mary, son
David J. Hughes and son William. I have just been at a dead end with this family.
The daughter Mary Elizabeth Hughes's husband petition to become a citizen in
the U.S. says she was born in Cilycwm and all records I find pertaining to her
say South Wales. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate some.
Thanks.
Donna

Hello Donna
To answer some of your questions:-
1) Yes a marriage often took place in the bride's home area - but not in
all cases.
2) For a death between 1864 and 1870 you coould look at the index of
state registered deaths available online at ancestry.co.uk but with such
popular name as David Hughes there would be quite a few possibles.
3) Regarding more information on this family you reaaly need to provide
more information.
For example as there are quite a few David Hughes with wife Mary -could
this be yours in 1861 in Cilycwm as you mention that as his place of
death?
1861 Cilycwm.

If this is yours - did you have this info already?
Which census do you already have?
This family is in Cilycwm in 1851 too with children Margaret 12, Thomas

Is Jones the maiden name of Mary?
Let us know your answers.

Hi I am looking for any info on the following person, I do not have
much on
him. This is what I do have.
David Hughes born 1813-1816 in Carmarthenshire
died between 1864-1870 in Cilycwm?
His wife was Mary Jones Hughes, she was from Cardiganshire.
Is there an index of deaths for this timeframe? Also another question, did
couples get married in the town the woman was from? Thanks for any help.
Donna
