Iam trying to find out information on my father's side of the family. His grandfather John Edward Hughes was apparently from Wales near Wrexham and his grandmother Julia(maiden name Barrow) was from Liverpool although I have no other information on them. They had eight children including my grandfather Wilfred Lloyd Hughes(1913-1960) who was the youngest and a coach painter in Blackburn, Lancashire. I have no other information on his brothers or sisters regarding age or occupation or where they were born, but here are their names in no particular order: Joseph Ravenscroft Hughes(born around 1907) Clara Hughes Jack Hughes George Hughes Florrence Hughes Blanche Hughes Robert Hughes I would be very grateful for any information no matter how small off anybody. Thanks!
