Hi there,

I had a quick look for you on Ancestry, but there are an awful lot of John Hughes's!!

Do you have any other names/dates etc?

Do you know, was his father called Silvanno Hughes?

thank you for your help, sorry can't find any names myself. he was about 23 when he married elizabeth jane davis, he died aged 34. they lived in tylorstown, 57 vivienne st.. the only way i think i can find out about him is to try and get to the records office in cardiff.

Hi Again,

Its free to look on Ancestry.com, - have you tried a general search there?
If you find him on there, then you can request a Census Look-up on here.

Hi Again,

Have you got 1837 on-line?

You could look up his birth/marriage & death on there.

Someone on here is offering free 1837 Look-ups if you haven't.

Best Wishes, Romilly.
