Hi Dave, there is a tree in Anc which lists his death as 1868. However, Free MBD have a death for Charles Miller Hughes in 1856 W Dby. perhaps a baby son born in 1855. Angelina remarries in 7.11.1869 to Robt Andrew Thomas. St Johns Tockie Park. Ozn Not much help mate. Did he sail to Australia as a young man??

Checked out the censuses of 1871 and 1881. The children have their stepfather's name of Thomas in 1871 but by 1881 he is a widower and he gives the children their original surname of Hughes.

There are six baptisms of children of Charles and Angelina on Ancestry. Charles Miller Hughes was a sail maker on the first three then from 1865 he was a mariner/master mariner. (on his marriage cert 1854 he is a sail maker & his father Isaac a captain so possibly sailing with his father.)
The last child that he and Angelina baptised was Susannah Nicholson Hughes, 6 June 1869. (registered Q2 1869) Then after that is Angelina Sarah Thomas, daughter of Angelina and Robert Andrew Thomas bapt 29 Jan 1871.

So Charles Miller Hughes was still alive second half of 1868 but there is no record of his death in England & Wales. Being a mariner I imagine he was lost at sea or abroad, though I cannot find a mention in newspapers.

The Miller Hughes family crop up several times in Liverpool around that time, mostly as mariners.

PS Angelina's 2nd husband, in 1869, was Robert Andrew Thomas. In 1865 Angelina & Charles Miller Hughes baptised a daughter Robina Andrewina Hughes, (first time Charles is down as a mariner). The address given was 203 Park Rd, same address where Robert was living with his mother in 1861. Makes you wonder whether Angelina & Robert are already living together and Charles has already disappeared.

1891 and 1901 they were at Great Crosby, Lancs and in 1911 they had retired to Paignton in Devon, when he was aged only 52.

He became a cement building material merchant and had the following children :-
Robina Angelina Alice 1880
Edmund M 1882
Rudolph A 1883
Miriam Adeline 1886
Charles Miller 1888 (the one you have a death for in 1968 ?)
Irene Forster 1891
Gladys Wolfe 1893
Noel Wolfe 1894

(in 1891 they had Rosette A Thomas, stepsister, 22, living with them, confirming the correct family)

Robert Andrew Thomas died 1892 leaving £3211 and one of the executors was Charles M Hughes cement merchant.

Charles Miller Hughes married his second wife, Ethel Hockmeyer, in Newton Abbot in 1924 and they were in Totnes in 1939. He returned from Devon to live at Bromborough on the Wirral and died there aged 90 on 23 April 1949. Probate was granted to Lloyds bank and he left £34,602.

Can't find any of Isaac Wolfe Hughes family in 1911.

An even smaller window between the birth of his last child, Susannah Nicholson Hughes, reg Q2 1869 , bapt 6 June 1869, and the marriage of Angelina Hughes, Nov 7 1869. But apparently no death in England or Wales.

Interesting that John & Susannah Nicholson were witnesses at the marriage of Angelina & Robert Andrew Thomas and the baby born just before the marriage was named after Susannah Nicholson. John Nicholson was a building contractor/joiner of a similar age to Robert who was also a building contractor. Looks like this supposed Hughes baby was named after friends of the soon-to-be second husband.

Robert Andrew Thomas was a single man, I think he and Angelina would have married sooner if they had had proof that Charles was dead.

Thanks Elaine.

The death will remain a mystery a bit longer.
