Hi
Hope someone can help. I'm looking for Thomas Hughes c1841 in Ireland. I have found him in 1891 at 6 Prospect Road, Parr, Lancs.
He is living with his wife, Ellen c1839, 2 children Mary, c1869, and John c1871, and his grandson, Peter 1889.
I'd like to know where the family were previous to1891.
Thanks
Rachael

If you look at the 1891 image - you will find son Patrick was living 2 doors away - shown as b Staffordshire - Wednesbury
Patrick 24 coal miner
Kate wife 26 b Ireland
James Murphy 30 boarder b Ireland
On the 1891 - daughter Mary aged 22 (1869) is also shown as b Wednesbury whereas son John aged 20 (1871) is shown as b Ireland. Looks as though the family returned to Ireland at some stage
Grandson Peter aged 2 was the illegitimate son of daughter Mary Hughes. By 1901 she has married Henry Costello and they are living in Ashton in Makerfied with Peter and other children of the marriage. All b St Helens unless shown otherwise

Great thanks for all your help. Is there any sign of Thomas' son Thomas c1876?
-
Thomas was b 1866 (ish) not 1876
I have looked at Thomas Hughes b Ireland and Staffordshire as it's difficult to know exactly where he was born. None live in the Haydock/St Helens area

Thanks CaroleW for your help

Hi Rachael :) this post was a few years ago so this is a long shot but I'm looking for the same family!!!
My GGGrandfather was Thomas Hughes b1841 Clifden Galway married to Ellen.
His son Patrick b1866 was my GGrandfather and his youngest son John b1903 my Grandfather.
I'm thinking I've found a relative???
Hope to hear from you soon Patzy.

Wow! Lovely to hear from you.I have not looked at my family tree in ages.
Mary Hughes was my G.Grandmother. Her son Peter was illegitimate but kept him in the family. Mary married Henry Costello and went on to have 11 more children. My grandad Joseph (Joe) Costello was the youngest born in 1910. After the war Joe settled at the other side of the Pennines in Yorkshire.
I have not really researched the tree back earlier as I have no idea where I would go to access Irish records. Im unsure if part of family were born in Westbury or Wednesbury as the census seems to contadict each other.

Hi again Rachael, Blimey this is fab news for me & a cousin out in France called Jo - she will be very happy to hear of you! Our Grandparents were siblings meaning we are cousins ;D
My Mother Molly was 3yrs old when her Dad John died, the family ALSO moved to Yorkshire and John was injured in a pit fall at South Kirby. He later died of his injuries in Clayton hospital.
Can I ask if you have had any luck with Thomas? I've searched the recently released nli.ie records for both his birth and a possible marriage but with no results .. all I know is he was born in Clifden Galway and Ellen was born Fairhill Galway.
Lovely to meet you ;)

Opps sorry in my haste I hadn't read your reply properly and now realise you are no further with Thomas & Ellen. My apologies.
Also Jo has emailed me, I had got the Mary's mixed up and of course your Mary was born c1869. After all these years I still haven't learnt to contain the excitement.

Well girlies,
Hi, this is Jo in France. Well what a threesome we make! All chasing the same family and getting nowhere. We must keep in touch and see if one of us cannot dislodge a piece of useful info. Happy hunting to us all
