Subject: Fw: HUGHES OF AMLWCH, ANG., AND LIVERPOOL
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Around the turn of the century (1902), my ggrandfather GEORGE MORGAN
HUGHES and his entire family left Amlwch, Anglesey, Wales, to go to
Liverpool,where he became a tobacco merchant (as he had been in Amlwch,
plus being in the insurance business) and then a "removal contractor;"
I think that means he moved furniture, but not sure. Their home was in
Kensington, Liverpool, and they attended the Kensington
Congregationalist Chapel (probably the Welsh-speaking one) in Liverpool.
He had been a choir director in the Congregationalist/Independent chapel
in Amlwch before this move to Liverpool.
GEORGE MORGAN HUGHES (1840Amlwch-1916Liverpool) and his wife MARY JANE
(WILLIAMS) (1852-1905Liverpool) had numerous children born in Amlwch, all
of whom went to Liverpool with their parents and married there. His
parents were JOHN and ANNE (nee Morgan) HUGHES; and her parents were
JOHN and MARY (nee JONES) WILLIAMS; her step-mother was MARY (nee
GRIFFITH) WILLIAMS of Amlwch.
