Llannerchymedd parish register 1815 to 1821 does anyone have access?

Question

Hello, does anyone have access to the parish register of Llanerchymedd in Anglesey. It is not in the FindMyPast Anglesey Baptisms collections.

I am researching the Welsh ancestors of William Morris Hughes (1862-1851) who was Prime Minister of Australia 1915-23.  

His  father [[Hughes-5070|William Hughes]], a joiner,  was born in Holyhead according to census records in about 1824 (although his 1871 census records says he was born in Liverpool). According to his London marriage record (1861) his father was named William, a mason. William also had a sister Mary born about 1821 in Holyhead.

I found an entry in the 1851 census at Liverpool which appears to match this family: 1851 census,:122 Upper Mann St, Toxteth Park, Lancashire: William Hughes 65 widwr b. Anglesey Amlwich, Elizabeth 34 dau b Wales Llannerch-y-medd, Mary 30 b b Wales Llannerch-y-medd, William 28 joiner b Holyhead.

I am hoping that if someone could search the Llannerchymedd parish register from around 1816 to 1821, it may reveal more about William Snr and who is wife was. 

Can anyone help?

Llannerch-y-medd is mainly in the parish of Almwch, Anglesey (https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Llannerch-y-medd,_Anglesey,_Wales_Genealogy):

Potentiall two candidates:

A William Hughes Christened on 7 October 1820, Almwch, Anglesey the son of Thomas Hughes & Jane. (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X11T-FQP )

The second, William Hughes Christened on 12 November 1820, Almwch, Anglesey the son of Richard Hughes & Elizabeth. (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X11T-FQT )

Ron, there seems to be a seperate Llannerchymedd register: FMP has the marriages & burials but not the baptisms. See list:

William Hughes (b c1827) was the son of another William.

Find My Past has baptisms for Llannerchymedd from 1832.
