Have you considered for £3 the digital image of his gro birth cert to establish an exact dob. Might appear in 1939 war register.

No I had not,something to think about,not sure if he passed in WW1 ,i think his mum in 1921  is in London  with  quite a few other people ,definitely not with her married daughter

He may also have gone abroad but rather a common name to search for  :-\

Have you checked for a death in the area he was last seen?  Ages will be given to check with his and again having his exact DOB is a good idea.

I notice that on the 1901 census he is recorded as John Thomas JONES (not Hughes). I appears William Henry Hughes and Margaret did not marry until MQ 1897 St Asaph. Based on this his birth is possibly as below. He may have in later life reverted to the surname Jones as apposed to Hughes.

Yes ,I had seen the  1901 with  the Jones surname,his sister married  a Eldridge in 1915,probaly should of  mentioned this in  the first post, and yes I know the Hughes surname  is (difficult) to search for.
Thanks Mud
Thanks to everyone at the moment  and softly softly ,i will try and track him in the 1939
