Yes - that is the Edward Webb Hughes we are looking at as a possible but cannot prove he is the same as the Edward Hughes who married Sarah Luker in 1819. What next?

Have Edward Hughes m Sarah Luker in Westbury-on-trym (Bristol) in 1819. She was born 1796. We do not know when he was born although there is a birth for an Edward Webb Hughes in the area. HOwever, at no time later did he use "Webb" and we have him on censuses and on children's births.

On the 1841 census he has a Hannah Hughes in his house - she is 15 yrs older than him. I know that the 41 was erratic on ages! IF she is his sister, then it leds weight to him being the Edward Webb Hughes, as I have found her birth to William and Ann.

Any ideas how I can prove my Edward Hughes and the Edward Webb Hughes are one and the same?
