As I have just noticed Hugh's wife was Ellen, the Hugh I am looking for had a daughter Jane but she was the twin of Ellen, I just wonder if this is Ellen after here mother ?

Hi Ann & Susan, As you know the above location is on the Island of Anglesey. All I know about Hugh Hughes is that he was a postmaster, I think in Bodffordd but maybe in Llangefni, he had twin daughters Ellen and Jane born 1851 so Hugh would have been born about 1830 as per Susan's suggestion, but I feel the sub-registration district may have been Llangefni ? I couldn't find Hugh or his daughters http://www.ancestorhunt.com/mormon_church_records.htm.
but I will keep looking at your suggestion Susan as it seems to be the closest up to now .
Best Regards, Dave Crowley..........
