Marriage, just for reference:

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Marriages Sep 1909 (>99%)

HIGGINSON Mary Wolstanton 6b 179
HUGHES John William Wolstanton 6b 179

Do you know Mary's age at their marriage? What was John's occupation? Because it's such a common name any additional info will whittle results down.

Thanks Anne-Marie I wouldn't know John William's occupation,he being about eleven in 1901.I've no idea of Mary's age,its hard to pick one suitable from the earlier births.

William - you may have to get their marriage certificate to get the information required.

You could be right unless I make contact with connections of the later children.

Oh dear Anne Marie!If you look at one of my previous threads-John-Alice Hughes,you will find out why you can't find them.You see there was an earlier John William Hughes born in c 1864 who was an uncle to the one born in 1889,well it was him who married Mary Higginson.

The only possible excuse I can offer is that I'm being pressured for info about the Hughes family by a descendant of the family.
