Hi
Have found your Thomas but before I go any further do you have Rachel and Thomas marriage certificate has this will confirm who is father is.

In 1871 census there are 2 Thomas Griffiths the right age and area and both are shoe makers.
You can see the family on the 1880 census RG11/5390/131/43and dont see them on the 1891 census but pick them up on the 1901 censusRG13/5106/29/16

Only saw this after my previous reply to Three Compasses.  Yes, the people who lived there and who built it were Griffiths.   A descendent, Henry Griffiths lived, after retirement, at Middle Hill llangathen in the 1950's and died in the 1960's.
