Hughes family Flint 1851 & 1861

[neilc]

I wonder if anyone could give me details of the following family off the 1851 & 1861 Census's please. Or is anybody else researching the same family?

Thomas Hughes and wife margaret Hughes. Also their Son William who would be aged 3 in 1851 & 13 in 1861. I do not know of other children at present.

In 1847 on Williams birth certificate Thomas his father was a Carpenter. Margaret his mother was stated as Hughes and formerly hughes 7 their residence was Evans lane Flint. In 1866 on Williams Marr certificate to Susannah Reid it states father Thomas Hughes Occupation Shipwright. Residence Summer Hill.

After their marriage William and Susannah moved to Whitby/Ellesmere Port.

A am also struggling to find Thomas and Margaret on 1871/81 census's.

Any more information would be greatly appreciated.
