Bob,

>From the information you've provided, the following HUGHES family appears to
be yours in the 1881 Census. Perhaps someone can clarify where/what is "Tre
Gwydyr", as I don't find it listed as a parish -- perhaps it's a hamlet or a
farm name. "Bethsda" should read "Bethesda". I would think they would have
married in the bride's home parish or where the first child was born. In
either case, it would appear you're looking for a marriage ca. 1866/67 and
you can write to the local Superintendant Registrar covering that area (see
GENUKI pages) for the certificate. I would suggest you also obtain the
microfilm for the parish of Dolwyddelan, CAE, for the 1871 Census and
compare the answers.
