Hello Hugo and Meleri,
I hope you don't mind me entering this Board. I like a challenge.
The entry in Freereg for the baptism of Elizabeth Hughes in Penmachno on 29/08/1847, records her as daughter of Evan and Elizabeth Hughes.
They have a baptism on 27/11/1842 for Elizabeth, daughter of Evan and Grace Hughes.
I reckon the 1847 entry is a mistake pure and simple.
There aren't any more baptisms for Evan and Grace Hughes on Freereg.
It is interesting that there is a Rees Hughes (also shown as Rice Hughes) baptising children there later on.
15/08/1872, Evan, son of Rees and Jane Hughes.
15/08/1872, David, son of Rees and Jane Hughes.
09/12/1875, Grace, daughter of Rice and Jane Hughes.
There aren't any more baptisms for this couple on Freereg.
Rees Hughes is in the 1881 census living at 6 Rhos Goch St, Penmachno.
The household comprises:
Rees Hughes, Head, married, age 44, Slate Inspector Quarries, born Penmachno.
Jane Hughes, wife, age 44, born Penmachno.
Edward Hughes, son, age 20, Quarryman, born Penmachno.
Evan, son, age 12, Scholar, born Penmachno.
David, son, age 10, born Penmachno
Mary J Hughes, daughter, age 16, Dressmaker, born Penmachno.
Elizabeth, daughter, age 15, Scholar, born Penmachno.
Grace, daughter, age 7, born Penmachno.
Gwen, daughter, age 4, born Penmachno.
In the 1871 census they are living in 2 Rhos Goch and have a son, Rees, age 4 months as well as Edward, Mary Jane, Elizabeth and Evan in the family there.
In 1891 the family are still living in Rhos Goch with children: Edward, Mary J, Evan, Grace and Gwen. Rees is a Slate Inspector at Quarry.
It is interesting that he named his children after his parents and siblings.
