Trying to find Hughes

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

I am trying to find out about Patrick and Rose Ann Hughes, born in Ireland in 1840 and 1841 respectively. They came over to Accrington Lancashire in 1877/8. I am trying to work out if there is any connection between them and some other Irish Hughes that they moved near to in Accrington. He was a blacksmith - possibly at Bulloughs (spelling?) They had lots of children, Bernard- my great grandfather (1874) John (1859) Henry (1865) William (1876) and Francis (1878). Think that they might have had some daughters left in Ireland? I am trying to find information about the family of a son of Bernard Hughes who went to South Africa, possibly Harry Hughes with a wife Mary. They may have had a son Peter. Also looking for infomation on Henry Hughes, born in Ireland 1863. He married Jane Haworth who was born in Oswaldtwistle in 1867. Their children include James, Joseph, Rose, William and Thomas - all born in Accrington Lancashire between 1886 and 1895. I'd be really grateful for any information. Julie
