Meaning/Pronunciation: Pronunciation: Pew (as in the church seat) Meaning: a shortened, modernized form of Ap Hugh, meaning son of Hugh.
Origin: Wales
Variations: Ap Hugh, obviously. Hughes as well, as an alternate modern form of the name.
Relation to me: This is my matralinial direct line—my mother's mother's mother's mother's mother's maiden name
Ancestors:
i: Pugh, Ellen, ? – ?, Wales?; Hugh Roberts, 1 daughter known
Looking for:
Before a few months ago, this would have been entitled Griffiths (2), as I'd always had her listed as Ellen Griffiths due to what my grandmother told me. However, in looking up Ellen's daughter's death certificate, I found that she was listed as Ellen Pugh. So Pugh it is, until I learn better.
While the surname is Welsh, I can only assume that she was born in Wales, as I have no information beyond the fact that she married Hugh Roberts, and that they had one daughter, Selina Roberts nee Howells, in 1845.
I'm hoping to find more soon, but as of this moment, that's all I have on this line, so any help would be appreciated. :)
