In 1841 there are 3 George Hughes-s of the right age in Droitwich district (all in Dodderhill), but none is living with parents.

(My mistake -- there are two. Ancestry seems to have duplicated one household.)

I do not see an Ann or John Hughes with a spouse of the right name.

EvieBeavie Report 13 Nov 2008 19:03

I assumed that Jarvis knew what he needed about George -- but just in case, the two households in 1841 are

George Hughes 20
Harriott Hughes 20
Henry Hughes 4

That is presumably the right one, since Elizabeth in the second household seems to be the mother:

William Hughes 30
Elizabeth Hughes 40
George Hughes 20
William Harris 15
Ann Hughes 16
Caroline Hughes 13
Thomas Hughes 11
Elizabeth Hughes 7
Sarah Hughes 5

What Jarvis didn't mention is that they are in the 1851 census, i.e. not deceased in 1841, so they must be there somewhere.

Perhaps Jarvis also has daughter Eliza in 1841:

Name: Eliza Hughes
Age: 9
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1832
Gender: Female

Civil Parish: St Peter
Hundred: Worcester
County/Island: Worcestershire
Country: England


She is a pupil in a seminary, household headed by Maria Poole, schoolmistriss.

EvieBeavie

EvieBeavie Report 13 Nov 2008 19:13

And here they are in 1841.

Name: Ann Hughs
Age: 44
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1797
Gender: Female
Where born: Worcestershire, England
Civil Parish: All Saints
Hundred: Evesham
County/Island: Worcestershire
Country: England
Registration district: Evesham

Ann Hughs 44
Elizabeth Rup 81


I did mean to search for the spelling variants earlier!

EvieBeavie

EvieBeavie Report 13 Nov 2008 19:15

The 1841 image for Hughes is terrible and the occupations are so faint I cannot tell what John's was.

Also, "Rup" is undoubtedly not what Elizabeth's surname was, but I have no idea what it says.

EvieBeavie

EvieBeavie Report 13 Nov 2008 19:20

This is the immediately preceding household, and my opinion would be that the surname is Hughes, in case this is of interest:

Name: Fanny Kucher
Age: 40
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1801
Gender: Female
Where born: Worcestershire, England
Civil Parish: All Saints
Hundred: Evesham
County/Island: Worcestershire
Country: England
Registration district: Evesham
Sub registration district: Evesham

Household Members:
Name Age
Fanny Kucher 40
Job Kucher 18
William Kucher 15


And immediately above them, I would also read this Ann as Hughes.


Name: Ann Kenchin
Age: 15
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1826
Gender: Female
Where born: Worcestershire, England
Civil Parish: All Saints
Hundred: Evesham
County/Island: Worcestershire
Country: England
Registration district: Evesham
Sub registration district: Evesham

Household Members:

Er ... Jarvis.

I have given you John and Ann Hughes (Hughs at Ancestry) in 1841!

Also daughter Eliza.

You didn't say whether you have their marriage. Here is the other alternative in the IGI:


JOHN HUGHES
Spouse: ANN TAYLOR
Marriage: 26 MAY 1816 Claines, Worcester, England
Batch No.: M021371


There are Taylors in George's household in one of the censuses.
