The tree is on Ancestry and is called

Jukes Holmes Neal Lunn Smith Jan 2011 and the tree owner's board name is chris_blogg

The address may not work if you don't subscribe, but try it anyway

He logged in over a year ago. That may mean that he never bothers to log out; on the other hand he may have left the site entirely.

I can't see an immediate connection from your Hughes to the tree owner -s/he has 963 relatives.

If you are a member of Ancestry, you could search public trees to find the correct one - use the details as posted above for Ethel R Hughes.
If not, you could sign up to http://www.mundia.com/ca/ as all public trees from Ancestry can be viewed there.

If necessary, I'll send a message on your behalf, but do try yourself first

Hello again, Karen here, did take a look this morning and decided to come back and look again when I had more time.
DetEctive- I am very interested in the info you have found and thank you very much. I am very curious to know more about this "unsourced tree" as this may hold the key to my long lost relations. As you say they must have insider knowledge to be so exact with dates, can I ask where you found this tree and can I view it, and is it possible to contact the owner who may be willing to give me more help?
I am not that computer brilliant and tend to stick to what I am able to do, so a bit of advice would be most gladly received.
I want nothing more than to be able to find out what happened to the family members over the years and put this bit of my puzzle in place.
Hope you can give me some advice.
Many thanks
Karen
P.S. Would it help if I contacted you by message?

Karen here again, just to say that I am signing off for the evening now, feeling a sleepy head, I shall take a look in the morning to see if anyone has been able to come up with any more info for me. Until then, thanks and night night all.

Thanks very much, firstly no that isn't my tree.
Alviegal thanks for the info,some of which I have already, but I didn't previously know the second name of Walter for Ralph and his date of birth and death, also that he lived in Florida - very interesting. Is there any way of finding out if Ralph married and if there were any children of the marriage?
I've come accross Albert William Jnr being married to Hazel before, again any way of finding possible children of the marriage?
Any sign of a death for Albert William senior or marriages and deaths for the other children please, just trying to find possible ways to make contact with their descendents to fill in a bit gap in my family history.
Any more information will be most welcome.
Thanks again.
Karen

HI Gerald

Names and DOB might help us, to help you

Hi i've just seem a post regarding USA Obituories and am wondering if records exist for the 1950's? My greatgrandmother and her then husband emigrated to USA in the late 1890's. I have been able to trace them on the census records which are available and think my greatgrandmother died in 1958 in Maryland, I haven't been able to trace the death of her husband at all, but gather it was before she died. I have been unable to trace any of their USA offspring try as I might. This is a long running family search so everytime I get a possible bit of info on how to track details of them I seize upon it.
Anyone able to help with Obit notices or give me any clues how to find living relatives in USA please?
Thanks, Karen (Geralds wife)
