Amazing...thank you so much.
Thanks to you I now have my great, great grandparents detail. Thank you also for the census record and the photo of the lovely house, wher on earth did you get it?
Thank you again, Chris

found it on ancestry.com

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.

Hi dwsi,
I have been corresponding with Hadyn, after finding this particular post.

I meant to say dwsi, the rebuild of the house was by Hugh and his son Joseph, Joseph must have been around 15, judging by his year of birth.

These are the inscriptions on Hobson graves in St. Tudno's churchyard. The source is the book which Hugo mentioned and the code at the beginning gives the reference in the book and position in the churchyard. Hope this helps.

$walesflag$hi chris this is zoe gareth's partner. i am looking into gaz's family tree at the mo so i thought u might like the info i have found to help you with your research. william david hobson (gareth's father and your uncle) born 10th feb 1951 died 1982 age 31. father and mother of william david (billy) william charles hobson born 7th sept 1931 died 2nd june 1992 spouse eilleen. parents of william charles hobson - william hobson and elizabeth hobson. parents of great grand father william - joseph and ellen hobson 1911 census records of household members - elizabeth hobson age 56, joseph hobson (son) age 26, william hobson age 22, robert hobson age 19, john hobson age 16 and leah hobson age 14. parents of joseph hobson (father) anne elizabeth hobson born 1862 and john hobson census 1891 records of household members - john hobson age 27, anne elizabeth hobson (spouse) 29, robert hobson age 4 and kate hobson age 2. i was unable to find any record of kate hobson past this so i belive she died between 1891 and 1911. i hope this info is helpful to you. i know some of the names are probarbly different to what you thought but ur great gran elizabeth was elizabeth m so i belive this is where the name u know her by came from, i have gone through many records and defenatly belive this is the right family tree you are looking for, hope this helps you out, if i find anything else i will let you know.

Hi Zoe, thanks for your message.
I took the same line as you, but when I researched alittle more, I thought I must be wrong as names didnt seem to fit.
Shortly after begining tis topic, I spent a few afternoons at Conwy Archives and looked through the school records to confirm I had the right family, I was also told to trust the record as it was only filled in by the school head. The record gave the same address as the census.
I will find the folder to let you know.

I don't know if you have come across a site called North Wales BMD. It is run by the Registration service and has the indexes for all the local births, marriages and deaths up to around 1950. It is free and helps you to locate people if you want a copy of any certificates. I have found it very useful in the past.

Jimmy Hobson and Davy Hobson lived in Bridge Road in the 1940s and 50s.

I have just come across this when researching my own family. Might be of interest. :)
