Title: Llandudno baptisms lookup
Post by: Slappo on Friday 26 August 11 04:03 BST (UK)
My first ever RootsChat post: wondering if someone can kindly add some extra information to an IGI entry: Jane Hughes was baptised in Llandudno 5 Nov 1820, daughter of Hugh & Mary Hughes. Is there any extra information on the baptismal record? Father's occupation? Residence? Many thanks.

Hi Ash, it could well be that Jane had left home by the time of the 1841 Census, this possibly could be her parents and siblings in 1841:-

1841 Census

Hugh Hughes 45 occ Copper Miner Not Born in County
Mary 40 Not Born in County
William 15
Elizabeth 12
Owen 10
John 8
Eliza 6
Robert 4
Ann 1
Residing at Morfa, Llandudno, Caernarvonshire.
Census Ref HO107/1389/ 3/13/ 20

As I say only a possible, but see what you think, and and by the way, welcome to Rootschat!

Hello Slappo,

The baptism for Jane Hughes is on Freereg and this entry is a transcription of the parish registers.

The entry reads as follows:

05 November 1820, Llandudno Parish Church, Jane, daughter of Hugh and Mary Hughes.

It would be unusual for there to be more information at this time.

http://www.freereg.org.uk/

I think there are some books available on the early residents of Llandudno. One being, "Llandudno before the Hotels". The town would have been tiny with few inhabitants then.

Jo.
