1901 census look up please

[pettsy]

I have been trying to find the 1901 census, for my step great grandfather, John Edward Hughes.
He was born 1894, in Shrewsbury.

His mother was called Hannah Hughes, (she was not married)
and he had two siblings called Thomas and Alfred.
Also born in Shropshire.

BUT Hannah Hughes was born in Wales, and her grand daughter told me last night that she could not speak English, only Welsh.

All I know about the children's father is he was Mr Cox, the Baker.......
Who was married 

Can anyone help me to find Hannah and the boys, I cannot find them anywhere 

Thank you.

Hello

He was born 1894, in Shrewsbury.

Have you got his birth certificate?  If so, please post full details.


I can't seem to find them at the moment but am still looking

Hi Lloydy

Sorry I don't have his birth certificate.
His daughter (my great aunt) was looking for it, but  she is not even sure if she had it 

Thank you

OK!!! but can I ask how you know when & where he was born?

[pettsy]

Hi Lloydy

Course you can 

I have no proof, only what his daughter told me.
I did find a birth for a John Edward Hughes in Shrewsbury.
And he was younger than Lilly Turner (his wife) who was born in 1892.

I may have to order the cert if Gwendoline can't find it.

Lilly and John shared the same birthday, but she was born in 1892 and John was 2 years younger.

I found (what I think is him) John Edward J Hughes born Dec Q 1894 Atcham.

Looks like I may have to order a copy, but I can't do a check can I?

Father Cox the Baker

I found (what I think is him) John Edward J Hughes born Dec Q 1894 Atcham

That's the one I found!  You could always do a check against his mother's name

I'm still looking in the 1901, by the way.................



p.s. Don't s'pose you've got his marriage certificate?

[pettsy]

Hi Lloydy,

Yes I have !! 

But it's states his father as John Hughes, and his daughter told me he never had a father 

His mum was Hannah Hughes, and she had three children with COX the Baker from Shrewsbury.

I believe Hannah's mother was also called Hannah, but I don't know her fathers name, of which part of Wales she was from

Hi again Lloydy.

I just spoke to my great aunt again.

Cox the Baker was from the same place as John Hughes was living when he was married.
So I am going to try a find a man called Cox, who was a Baker living there 

Also she thinks John Hughes (on John's marriage cert) may have been his grandad.

So I will see if an find a John and Hannah Hughes living in Wales, with a daughter also called Hannah.
