Welcome to the forum. We hope you find what you want here - there are lots of keen seekers who are very helpful

Is that mission the same as the present-day City Mission, who have the headquarters in Mount Pleasant? Their website is this:
<http://www.livercm.org.uk/>
They run several mission halls or chapels around the city and may be able to help you.
Kelly's Directories listed mission halls in the section at the back of the book, after the lists of churches. You may find something there if you are local and can get to the central library.

Hi Moemed
Harry Hughes lived at various addresses while he was the Preacher at the Mission, right?
Please list one by one the info you need for the family, thank you.
The only cemetery in Kensington was Jewish.

Hi Tina

In 1901 he and his family were at Denman St of Kensington..It seems they were Wesleyans..going by him preaching in Wesleyan churches..

The Necropolis was not too far away.

Hi Moe

No worries.. i just wanted to make sure you were going down the right route so to speak..as i couldnt see a Harry with parents John & Elizabeth born c 1871.. If his father was called Lot.. then that helps to find his burial..as you say you think Lilian maybe buried with him.

If Harrys father is John on Harrys marriage cert then forgive me.. but i dont know if you hav this marriage cert you see confirming this..

xx

[MaryA]

Perhaps you could give us all the details from the marriage certificate, where it took place, the fathers and also the witnesses. You never know where the odd little detail leads.

[colette]

Hi Moe

forget Lot

Harry's folks were John B Hughes & Letitia Nelson married St George Everton 1860..
Sorry for misleading you..its just i could not trace him in 1881.. but i have now..

Hi

To narrow down the search for the burial of Lillian. You could look through the local papers to see if there was an obituary.

There are some records for The Liverpool Domestic Mission I dont know if its the same as the City Mission?

LIVERPOOL DOMESTIC MISSION, MILL STREET
BAPTISMS 266 DOM 1869-1974
LIVERPOOL DOMESTIC MISSION, MILL STREET
WEDDINGS 266 DOM 1918-1960

These records are listed in the Non-Conformist Collection.

Please read this guideline which advises you about what can be looked up and what can't
http://liverpool-genealogy.org.uk/phpBB ... php?t=6937

Without confirming documentation - ie the marriage certificate that gives his father's name, you could well be following the wrong family. You need to go step by step.
