The earliest traceable ancestor in the Pugh family was William Pugh baptised in 1707 at St Julian's in Shrewsbury.
They were probably farmers or general labourers although, 4 generations later, Richard John Pugh decided to leave the area to find work in the Industrial Midlands as a Carpenter and Joiner.
Richard was born in 1810 in Longnor, Shropshire, but all of his children were born in Wednesbury, Staffordshire and the Pughs have lived there ever since.
