PhilMick, I sent this e-mail to the Denbigh Archives in case they could help:-
"I am trying to find information about a William Herbert Hughes who lived in Old Colwyn from 1929 to at least the 1950’s. It would be appreciated if you could advise me if the Burial Indexes and register of electors from 1933 are in your Archives.
Any help or advise would be appreciated". This is part of the reply I received:-
While we do hold microfilmed copies of the Colwyn Bay burial register for 1933 you might also be interested to learn that the church of Wales parish registers have been digitised and are now available to view on line at
http://www.findmypast.co.uk/. I had a quick look at this website looking for a burial record for William Herbert Hughes in Denbighshire but I failed to find a match. However, while searching this website I did find an entry for him on the 1939 census living at 56, Grove Park, Colwyn Bay. Other information captured on this census was that William was a widower, that he was a retired general labourer and that his date of birth was 28th February, 1870. I tried to down load a copy of this census for you but the website permitted me from doing so. If you would like a copy then you will have to go on line at
http://www.findmypast.co.uk/ and please be aware that there is a charge for a copy.
I know that this person is not the one you are looking for but I had a look at his birth records and that Wm Herbert's birth was registered in Stoke Damerel District in the quarter Oct/Dec 1870. Does this mean anything to you?
