Inconsistencies

[edit]

This source - the source first used for the article - has Thomas Hughes as the only son of Thomas (or William) Hughes of Cillwch, and states that he married Isabel Godwin and died in 1664. However, Bradney, in his History of Monmouthshire, has this Thomas Hughes marrying Mary (?), and also has him with a younger brother Charles Hughes of Trostry, a major in the royal army. According to Bradney, this Thomas Hughes (clearly meant to be the same person - colonel in the parliamentary army, governor of Chepstow, MP for Monmouth) was the son of Thomas Hughes of Moyne's Court (d.1624), who was himself the son of William Hughes of Cillwch; and states that this Thomas Hughes died in 1667. The article currently contains inconsistencies because it draws on both sources. Can anyone help resolve these inconsistencies between what would appear to be reliable sources?
