Hello Aled,
yes, that is connection I have spotted, the other thing being that the
Rev Robert Hughes also had a brother Morris, but I can't link these 2
conclusively as brothers, according to the Pedigree. Thanks for your
information.
best wishes, Judith

According to Griffith's Pedigrees, Owen Gethin Williams was the son of the
Elizabeth Morris by her first husband the Rev William Williams, Rector of
Bottwnog. Morris Hughes was the son from her marriage to her second
husband,
William Hughes of Caernarfon.
On the 6 February 1837 in Capel Curig, the Rev Morris Hughes officiated at
the wedding of Eliza Letitia, daughter of the Rev Robert Hughes of Capel
Curig, to the Rev Peter Titley. It might indicate a family connection.

Hello Aled,
thanks very much for this information. I have been trying to find out
if
there was any relationship between these 2 vicars, plus between Morris and
the Rev Robert Hughes of Capel Curig.
I had also seen some information that suggested that the vicar of
Pentraeth prior to Rev Morris Hughes (from 1844- 1854) was his step
brother,
Rev Owen Gethin Williams, so was trying to prove this too.
best wishes, Judith
