Hugh was born in 1847 (or possibly the latter part of 1846) in Llandudno,
North Wales, he moved to the USA in the 1870s. His son who I believe to be
Richard, was born in 1869 somewhere close to the border of England and Wales.

For many years I have searched for my gt gt gt uncle Hugh HUGHES who was born
in Llandudno, North Wales in c1847 and emigrated to the USA. We searched in
England, Wales, Argentina and America and built a list of potential Hugh
HUGHES's, after 10 years searching, we feel that we may have narrowed the
search right down and 1 person in particular has raised interest within our
family.
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.

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.
This would fill a huge whole in our family tree, thank you all so much for
reading this message.
