HUGHES b.30 Sept 1860 in County Tyrone, Ireland (Coalisland??). His marriage certificate from Massachusetts list his parents as James and Catherine Hughes. I was given a lead (back in 2002) that his parents may have been JAMES HUGHES and CATHERINE O'NEILL and siblings were BERNARD HUGHES (b.17 Aug 1867), CHARLES HUGHES (b.04 Jul 1869) and CATHERINE HUGHES (b.03 Feb 1871) all of Coalisland, County Tyrone, Ireland. Can anybody help me confirm that Robert's mothers maiden name was indeed "O'Neill" and/or be able to get me more information such as JAMES and CATHERINE's birth/death dates and where and etc. Thanks...Michael Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
