John Roberts 1775 of Holyhead married Catherine Hughes 1775 of Holyhead in 1795. I am seeking proof that Catherine's parentage is David Hughes and Margaret Williams. Parents if correct marriage when they were 14 years old. Thanks in advance

if david and Margaret were married in 1754 and Catherine was born in 1775 and she was their only child it seems 19yrs is a long time to go before having catherine
