William Bulkeley Hughes

William Bulkeley Hughes

.

William was the eldest son of sir William Bulkeley Hughes of Plas Coch, Llanidan, Anglesey and Elizabeth, of Coed Alun, Caernarfon. He held the Carnarvon Boroughs constituency as a Tory from 1837 to 1859, and again as a Liberal from 1865 to 1882.

He was justice of the peace of Anglesey and Caernarvonshire, and high Sheriff of Anglesey from 1861. As a prospector in railway shares, he made significant gains in the 1840s, and organised a banquet given to Robert Stephenson to commemorate the opening of the Britannia Bridge. He was the chairperson of the Anglesey Central Railway from its founding until it was absorbed by the London and North Western Railway in 1876.
