Hi, no sorry, all I know is that his name was Arthur hughes, he was my gtgtgt grandfather. Never married the mother of his three sons hence no marriage cert, no census, disappeared.
Dna has narrowed it down somewhat and I do feel he went to new york, mid 1840s. Also feel he could have been close relative of monsignor John hughes. He died in New York and the dates fit. John hughes parent's were Patrick and margaret mckenna. But Arthur is not listed as brother he could be uncle.
Thanks for your reply, I'll keep at this.
