Update - well it seems you guys were spot on. Thank you so much! I explored the death of Robert Griffiths 1895 in Pontypridd and the address on the death cert was the same address on Robert Henry Griffith's marriage cert. Hoorah! I can also see Robert Griffiths (senior) and Sarah on the census in Pontypridd in 1891.
I have found a marriage for Robert & Sarah in 1875 in Aberystwyth which proves that Robert Henry was either adopted by them, born out of wedlock or has a different parent(s) as he was born in 1873.
I have found a possible family link in Aberystwyth Llanbadarn Fawr, Robert Snr did have a sister Margaret a few years older than himself. But I am finding it hard to prove a link between Maragret/Swansea/George Byron. which would tie everything up.
Does anyone have any ideas where I could turn next please?
Thank you in advance.

Hi
I finally got around to ordering Robert's birth certificate - to explore the Byron possibility. It states his dob as 23/11/1873 which matches up with his attestation. His mother is named as Margaret Byron nee Griffiths and father George Byron. They lived at 20 well street Swansea.
Problem is I can't find any other records to prove this theory, only one I can find is a poor/work house entry for a George Byron on his own dob 1828 from Well Street. Would you recommend any other avenue to explore? I cannot find any of them on the 1881 census, no marriage etc. There is a Margaret Daniels detailed on Roberts marriage certificate but I can't find a link.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, yes i contacted the cemetery and they did send me the details through- it wasn't my grandfather.
He was still living in the states/Canada in 1998 so I would imagine he didn't come back.
Thanks.

Hi there,
Looking for some advice - my Grandfather left the UK sometime after marrying his 2nd wife. He either went to America or Canada, we have heard from a relative it was more likely America. Looking for a needle in a haystack.
V D Poole 28/02/32.
M Poole nee Morgan 28/03/32.
They married in 1957 in Gloucester.
Thanks in advance.
