WOW

1/The birth of Mary Teresa Hughes ,I am almost certain that we can discount(but will store the info)
2/The findagrave Mary Walker -IS-my grandma but the details were added by a cousin a few years ago(with nothing to justify some of the details mentioned)
3/ 1911 census -IS -also my grandparents(we know that they moved to East Retford in 1915 (James had a long career in the Essex reg (have his details and that of his family etc)-but have nothing on Mary before her marriage-
3/the birth reg for Mary Cristina-we have received a copy of this birth cert but states that father was Matthew Hughes(not correct has on marriage cert name of father is Michael Hughes a laborer
4/1881 census-I did a lot of work on this family birth, death, occupation records and was finally able to discount this family when I was contacted by a Lyons family tree owner to which I past on the research
5/the census for Lancashire-I must have missed this entry and will be looking at this one
6/I have seen the trees on various websites but I have also managed to deduce that the info does not seem correct
so once again -wow and thank you for bothering to look

Normally I would advise to get the birth for Thomas or Kate, but there are quite a few options.

I think the nearest Reg office would be Prescott, so it might be worth a search for Thomas around 1877-1878

Births Mar 1877
Hughes Thomas Prescott 8b 690

Births Dec 1877
HUGHES Thomas Prescott 8b 686

Births Mar 1878
Hughes Thomas Prescott 8b 648

Births Sep 1878
HUGHES Thomas John Prescott 8b 641

it could be any one or none of the above, but might be worth a try.

Kate may be Catherine
