This is a repeat of a posting from March 2003. One new fact is known now,
the maiden name of Ann/e JONES HUGHES is PARRY.
Thomas JONES born about 1857 in Penmaenmawr. He was found on the 1881
census with his wife,
Ann JONES (maiden name PARRY) born about 1860 in Llandudno. Their
children at the time are:
Thomas Henry JONES born 1878, Penmaenmawr
Ellen JONES born 1880, Nefyn
Robert JONES born 1882, Nefyn
George JONES born 1884, Penmaenmawr
Margaret Grace JONES born 19 Jun 1885, Penmaenmawr (my ancestor)
Later, on the 1901 census, Ann (age 41) is found married to Mr. Hugh Hughes born
abt 1842 in Llysfaen, Denbigh. The family lived in Dwygyfylchi Parish at
Llewelyn
Cottage on Gilfach Rd. Hugh has these two sons from a previous
marriage:
Thomas R. HUGHES born 1882, Penmaenmawr
Arthur J. HUGHES born 1885, Penmaenmawr
On the same 1901 census, these sons are shown as children of both Ann
and Hugh:
Llewelyn O. HUGHES born 1894, Penmaenmawr
Ivor O. HUGHES born 1897, Penmaenmawr
Herbert I./J. HUGHES born 1900/1901 Penmaenmawr
Rachel HUGHES is a daughter born sometime after 1901 to Hugh and Ann
HUGHES in Wales, presumably in Penmaenmawr. Rachel
was only about 9-11 years old when her half-sister, Margaret, moved to
the USA from the UK in 1912. /I know that I am wishing for a lot, but
maybe one of Rachel's children is in the Penmaenmawr area and can be located.
No, I don't have a married name for Rachel yet./
/My next goal is to find out when & where Ann JONES HUGHES' died.
/I think
that she died after 1912.
Perhaps she is buried in a cemetery in Penmaenmawr next to Hugh or
Thomas? Perhaps there is a marriage record for her marriage to Hugh
HUGHES around the year 1893? Or one for her marriage to Thomas Jones
around the year 1877. Any help will be appreciated.
Much of the above information was provided by Keith Roberts of Conwy and
I want to give him the credit. That is all I will post for now, but I
do have more on my Griffiths' line that I will post later.
Surnames I am researching for in Northern Wales: Griffiths, Jones,
Williams, Parry. Thanks for all the great input on this site!
