The details are the same in the book Alwyn. Hugh died 1819 aged 94 and Jane
died 1758 aged 64. The only difference to the information you have is that
the name of the second wife was Catherine.

Subject: [MER] Maentwrog MIs
I have tried to order a copy of the St Twrog Maentwrog MI fiche from Gwynedd
FHS through Genfair, but the site is playing up this evening — so I shall
have to try again tomorrow.
Whilst I am waiting for my copy to arrive, is there a list member who has a
copy of the publication handy, who can check something for me please?
Whilst in the cemetery yesterday I made a note of an Inscription for Hugh
Humphreys of Tafarn yr Helyg died 4 Feb 1823 aged 94 and of Jane, his first
wife died 19th Oct 1758 aged 64 and a number of sons as well as Hugh's
second
wife Mary.
It is Jane's details that I would like checking, because if what I have
transcribed is correct then Jane was 35 years older than her husband and
became a mother at the age of 58 and again at the age of 61.
A member of the GWREIDDIAU list has told me that the oldest recorded age for
a woman to become a mother was 63, but she had IVF and I doubt if that
procedure was available in Maentwrog in the 1750's :-)
Thanks
