Shirley,

I have the 1851 Census for Montgomeryshire (CD pub. by the Powys FHS) and
have looked for any HUGHES family in Llanwyddyn who came from Bala, but no
results. Is it possible Bala was a generalized reference point? Can you
give us a few more details (i.e. forenames, approx. years of birth,
occupations)?

Additionally, many of the subscribers are also volunteers on the Mid-Wales
Lookup Exchange, offering free lookups in materials that may be relevant to
your search:

Julie Preston
