The census says Thomas Hughes was born c1891 Harthill Cheshire.

Could this be his baptism, albeit a little older than age in census 1851?

The family in 1841 with some additional, earlier born children? Remember ages of over 15s usually rounded down to nearest 5 years.

Census 1841:

Address: Tattenhall, Tattenhall County: Cheshire

HUGHES, Thomas M 46 1795 Cheshire - farmer
HUGHES, Catharine F 40 1801 Cheshire
HUGHES, John M 25 1816 Cheshire - butcher
HUGHES, George M 20 1821 Cheshire
HUGHES, Bethiah F 18 1823 Cheshire
HUGHES, Jonathan M 8 1833 Cheshire
HUGHES, Emma F 5 1836 Cheshire
HUGHES, Elizabeth F 3 1838 Cheshire

Catharine's birthplace in census 1851 is listed as Chester, as indeed is John 1821.

NOTE, some of the baptisms in Tattenhall that I posted pre-date the Hughes-Quindlen marriage, though I suppose more than one couple called Thomas and Catherine Hughes could have lived there..


Or Thomas could have married two Catherines in succession.

There are lots of marriages for the name John Hughes in the Great Boughton registration district between 1861 and 1871 so can't pin his marriage down.

I think this is John in the 1871 census as a lodger. He says he is a widower so must have married between 11861 and 1871:-

Thank you for your help much appreciated

I can't find Emma as Emma Hughes on the 1871 census so she may have married between 1861 and 1871. There are quite a few marriages for that name in the Great Boughton registration district.
