Ann Harriet Hughes

Ann Harriet Hughes (1852 – April 25 1910), was a Welsh novelist, under the pen-name Gwyneth Vaughan.

She was born at Talsarnau in Merionethshire, the daughter of a miller, and had a basic school education. In 1876 she married John Hughes Jones, a doctor; they later dropped the "Jones". They lived in London and later in Treherbert. Left to bring up four children on her husband's death in 1902, she moved to Bangor, Gwynedd, and took up writing as a career.
