Janice I have checked Billings 1855 and Kelly's 1860 but cannot find HUGHES listed under Carriers in the Wordsley Area.

Another request please. If anyone has access to trade directories that would cover Wordsley for the period 1852 - 1863 could they please look and see if a Henry HUGHES is listed as a Canal Boat Owner/Carrier. His occupation is given as Carrier on the 1861 Census.
