Hi

Does anyone have suggestions re the best way to search for ship departures from England?

Maybe I can track Richard Conyards Hughes, through that mechanism! He may have travelled to USA or Australia (or anywhere else).

Thanks in advance.

Good thinking!

Hi maybe he went over during census with his job

This is really great research - thanks. Only problem is how did Richard Snr, have Richard Conyards Hughes Jr, in Sydney in 1856! ;-)

Hi
Thanks for this. I have this detail too. This Richard was born in 1882 and is my granfather's brother.
Having trouble locating anything about Richard Conyards Hughes born in about 1820!
This is a great website!
Mary :-)

Hi, I have found a New South Wales death for a Richard Conyard Hughes ...
Father....Richard Conyard Hughes.
Mother..Mary Ellen.
district..Drummoyne. number 9205/1946.

must be a relative..
cannot find any births or marriages etc for other parties.

kind regards, Lorraine in sunny Cairns.

This looks as though it could be the marriage of the Richard Hughes and Eleanor ....... the 1851 Census shows her born in Oulton, Suffolk (I looked at the original on ancestry, and ti is Oulton, not Boulton)

Yes that is true. But he must have died somewhere? :-(

Is it possible that he did not marry Ursula Eliza??????

well, the information on the 1851 Census was Carpenter and Builder!


it's all very circumstantial .......... yet fits together!!



One of the ancestry trees also has an older child born in Australia ......


Elizabeth Taylor Hughes
Birth 1854 in Sydney NSW




Interestingly, that also seems to be the name of one of Richard Conyers Hughes sisters , b. 10/11/1792 Lowestoft.






sylvia

Yes the Census and the wife's name probably discount him.

The family story is that the Hughes' came from Wales, were boat builders and one son went to USA, and the other son went Australia.

I can't locate the birth, death, marriage or arrival of Richard Conyards Hughes (b.1820 about).

The baptism certificate for the son says the father was a builder (Sydney NSW 1856).

Thanks ;-)

There is a Richard Hughes who fits all the criteria ....... born ca 1811, Lowestoft, Suffolk, occupation Carpenter ,,,,,,, on the 1851 Census, EXCEPT his wife is called Eleanor


This Richard Hughes may not be the same one as you want ....................


He is still on the 1861 English Census ....... as a Ship's Carpenter, on the Vessel Resolute, a Telegraph Repair ship.





Hi Mike! ~~~




sylvia

Thanks for all this help. I suppose that might be my ancestor. I can't find any marriage info for Eliza Ursula though.
Any more thoughts?
