Please post on the thread rather than sending PM's. That way the recipient knows what you are talking about :-)

As Patcham said yesterday

Terry - as you can probably guess, William John Hughes is quite a common name. We really need to try and find where they settled.

Did your family have any contact with them after they arrived? If so when and where were they living? Even a State would be a starting point!

Might this be them?
