I sent the following reply, but it didn't seem to reach the list.
There is no gravestone for John in Llanfair Mathafarn Eithaf church-yard,
there is a large cemetery with Tabernacle chapel which isn't far from the
church, but I don't have access to that index.
There is a John HUGHES birth registered in Llanidan.
HUGHES, John, father Robert, labourer, mother Ann HUGHES born 30-Oct 1845 at
Bryn Gwyn, Llanidan
reference Llanidan birth book 2 page 61 entry 301
And the following marriage
Llanidan PR book 1, page 14 entry 28, 1839 25-Dec, HUGHES Robert, full
age batchelor, labourer of Glan y Llyn, Llangeinwen father Hugh ROBERTS,
Labourer married HUGHES Ann, full age, spinster of Bodywyr Isaf, father
John HUGHES, Labourer
The 2 marriages of John HUGHES & Jane Prichard in 1874 were in Amlwch. So
they did not marry on Anglesey.
I don't know how this will help, hope it does, best wishes Dave

Subject: [AGY] Pant y Saer Uchaf - JOHN and JANE HUGHES
I am researching my great grandparents and would welcome any help .
JOHN HUGHES (b 1846) ,Llanidan and JANE PRICHARD (b.1855), Church House ,
Port Dinorwic. I believe they married in 1874 in Chicago. I think JOHNs
parents might have been ROBERT HUGHES ( b1813 Llangeinwen ) and ANN (b 1817
Llanidan), but have not confirmed this.
They had three children - William Griffith (b.1875), Pearce M (b.1880) , and
Jane Ellen ( b. 1882) . Between 1880 and c 1910 they appear to have lived in
Liverpool. They returned to Anglesey and were owner /occupiers of Pant y
Saer Uchaf between c.1910 -1920. I cannot find them on the 1911 census
however.
Their daughter JANE ELLEN HOWDLE (nee HUGHES) was a stewardess on the
Lusitania and died when it was torpedoed in 1915. Her name appears on the
Bangor and Benllech memorials - does anyone have photos of these? I think
her parents must have raised her three children - Raymond , Ronnie and
Benjamin Donald.
JOHN died in 1924 and is buried in Tynygongl and JANE died in 1936 and is
buried in Llanrug so its possible there might memorial inscriptions.
