Hi, Mark:
At the moment I wouldn't know how to go about helping you with this, but I have a
thought about the boy who was born in PA. There is a Philadelphia email list and on
occasion I have seen postings from a genealogist who answers queries about how to go about
finding information. Possibly you might get some help here. the address is:

Good luck!

Does anyone have any connections or alternatively is anyone in a
position to
take a closer look at this family below, whom we believe will be the family
we are looking for.
1880 US Census
Central City
Gilpin
Colorado
FHL Film 1254090 National Archives Film T9-0090 page 22D
name age birthplace Occupation
Hugh HUGHES 33 WALES Mason
Amelia HUGHES 32 WALES Keeping House
Richard HUGHES 10 ENGLAND Son
Elizabeth HUGHES 9 ENGLAND Daughter
William HUGHES 4 PA, USA Son
The key clues are that the dates are correct to my Hugh HUGHES birth
The children Richard and Elizabeth share the same names as my Hugh HUGHES's
parents who were from Llandudno
The name William is both my Hugh HUGHES eldest brothers name and my Hugh
HUGHES's grandfathers name
We believe our Hugh came to the USA in the 1870s, certainly he was in England
in 1867 witnessing his brothers wedding.(best guess is c1871-1876_
Can anyone check this area?
Can anyone check PA births for me and see if William HUGHES can be found.
