Thank you for your help. I do have the 1881 Scotland census.  49 Park Wynd was the residence of my ggrandfather Ambrose.  Listed are his wife Cathrine and their four children, Bridget, Cathrine, William (my grandfather), and Patrick.  Also listed are Patricks children by his first marriage, Agnes, Ambrose, and Cathrine.  Patrick later married again and had a son Patrick who emigrated to the US in 1905. I have traced the descendants of Patrick (jnr.) in Springfield Mass.

I did an extensive search on Find My Past for death record of either William or his wife Eleanor but without success.  They definitely did not return to Dundee but I have not ruled out the possibility that they may have gone back to Ireland or perhaps emigrated.  This is a line I will be following up.

 

Have no grave inscriptions for any members although I do recall visiting their grave sites in Balgay Cemetery in Dundee in the days of my childhood. 

 

With regard to Patrick who emigrated to the US he settled in Springfield, Mass. and had two sons Charles and Norman.  Both are deceased as are their spouses. I have been in contact with Noreen daughter of Norman but she coould not provide any information.  The one clue was the entry in the 1930 US census where Patrick declared his father Patrick was born in Northern Ireland.

Suzanne is indeed doing a great job for me as indeed you all are.  The info gleaned by Mike in respect of Eleanor Hughes I am sure is relevant.  While her year of birth is out by 20 years I am sure it is the right one and I have sent off to the GRO for the certificate.

 

William I think will be a bit more difficult.  I have a sub to findmypast but apart from giving the GRO refs in an entry there are no other details other than the name and if obtaining a copy of a cert. is the only way to find details it could be an expensive means of checking.  Scottish records seem to be streets ahead.

Hi David,Have you tried the Tees Valley Indexes.It has Hartlepool.I found two William Hughes Deaths in Hartlepool.You can order Certs on there to

2 1907 WILLIAM  H-A-105-0-219 Hartlepool
.
1 1921 WILLIAM H H-D-3-0-358 Hartlepool

Followed the link you provided  and have ruled out the William in the Mbro record as he had a middle initial 'H'.  The William I am pursuing had no middle name.  That leaves the one who died in Hartlepool 1906 which was before the death of Eleanor in 1912.  I will put the search for William on hold until I receive the cert. for Eleanor which should be about the end of the month.

 

I have no copies of any Irish certs. but thanks for the offer.

Have had some difficulty signing in.  Have now received the death certificate for Eleanor Hughes but find that she is not the Eleanor Hughes I am searching for.
