Public comments
There are Hughsons in my family tree - Laurence Hughson 1801 1886 - this is on my materla grandmother's side from the small island of Out Skerries in Shetland. My mother always maintained the hughsons came to skerries from Norway (Hugh Noble) to salvages gold from the Kennermerland or the De Leifde, both Dutch East Indiaman ships wrecked on the Out Skerries.
