For mygriffiths re. Henry Hughes

I have looked into all my old emails on genesreunited and have found my correspondence about Henry Hughes. Here are my "five corners":

My great-grandmother had a sister called Catherine Atherton. She married a certain Peter Burrows in 1884. Peter, it seems, had an elder brother called William, who was first married to a certain Martha Hughes before leaving her and committing bigamy in Yorkshire. Martha in her turn had lots of children with someone else after William left. Although she claimed to be the wife, she does not seem to have married the father of her children. So, no bigamy here. Anyway, Martha's uncle was Henry Hughes who went to Utah. Small world, isn't it?
