Charles Miller Hughes (1858-1949) was born in Liverpool on the 27th September 1858. ^[1] He was the son of a sailmaker, Charles Miller Hughes and Angelina Baines. ^[2]

He was christened on the 14th August 1859 at St James' church in Toxteth Park, Liverpool at which time the family lived on Morpeth Street, ^[3] but by 1861 they had moved onto Wood Street South in Toxteth Park. ^[4]

His father died in 1868 and following his mother's remarriage to Robert Thomas, the family moved into his house named "Robina Cottage" on Roper Street, Toxteth Park. In the 1871 census all Angelina's children were incorrectly given the "Thomas" surname. ^[5]

He married Mary Ann Foster at St Silas' church in Toxteth Park on the 16th September 1878 ^{[6] [7]}
