William Bulkeley Hughes

William Bulkeley Hughes J.P. (26 July 1797 – 8 March 1882) was a Welsh politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1837 to 1859 and 1865 to 1882.

In 1850, Bulkeley-Hughes had organised a banquet for Robert Stephenson to commemorate the opening of the Britannia Bridge.

[5] In 1846 Bulkeley-Hughes sided with the pro-Free Trade wing of the party led by Sir Robert Peel who became known as the Peelites.

Hughes appears to have left the Peelites by 1859 as he stood as a 'Liberal' in the 1859 general election but lost to a Conservative.

[4][2] His only child, Lady Sarah Elizabeth married Charles Hunter-Hughes in 1876, who became the Baronet of Plâs Côch of the Hughes family estate in Llanedwen, Anglesey, north Wales.
