DNA matches to Tedfords of Tartaraghan parish - possibly with a Hughes

I have DNA matches to more than one Tedford family from Tartaraghan parish. In some  cases I have three to five matches within one line with one genealogy company so there is a strong  connection even though we are probably only 4th or 5th cousins.

Is there any Tedford still living in this parish who might know if a Hughes married a Tedford? Or is there a Hughes who might know if there was a marriage with a Hughes. My great-great-grandfather James Hughes emigrated to Stockport, England, in the 1830's, but I am not sure of the parish he came from. With so many Tedford DNA matches, I am wondering if he came from this parish. According to the Tithe Applotment Books of 1834 there were two Hughes in the parish and two Tedfords although I wonder if the two Teafords are really Tedfords.

I am hoping a family Bible or a family history might exist.

Thank you, Jan

Eileen thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to help. I really appreciate it. I will check out theTelford-Hughes records you mentioned. I have wondered if Telford and Tedford might be the same name, but I have no idea. I would actually need records a little before 1833 to find my common connection, but I can hope that if my great-great-grandfather did come from this parish, that maybe a sibling stayed behind. James emigrated to Stockport, England in the 1830's so perhaps I could also look for any Hughes families having children in the 1830's and 1840's who have names similar to James's children.

I wonder if there is a history of people from this parish emigrating to the Lancashire or Chesire area of England.

Thank you,
Jan
