The Gt. Orme is where the Hobson's came from.

I believe that there are unrelated branches of the family ' Hobson ' living in Llandudno, care should be taken not to confuse them in your research.

Chris, there are a number of Hobsons buried in St. Tudno's churchyard, including some with Great Orme addresses.  If you think that some of these might be members of your family I can look up the details for you.  You would need to contact CCBC for details of anyone buried in the adjoining cemetery.

Thank you Quiggs, I do beleive my family to be genuine, but will always remember that.

Thank you Blodyn, that would be good.  I know my great grand parents are burried there, so it would be nice to know of more.

Thank you both, Chris

The Conwy Archives in Lloyd Street Llandudno has a list of the graves at St Tudno's and they are listed in alphabetical order which makes them easy to trace. Included in the book is a plan of the graveyard so that every one knows where exactly the grave is located.
Quiggs' advice on the Hobson family is good because there are a number of them with the same Christian name.

Thanks Hugo.

I have the dates for my great grand father, Hugh.  He was born in 1897 and died in 1948...that fits in with dwsi's findings on the 1901 census.

This might be your line of Hobson's
