Hi Sharman,
Got your PM OK so I will see what I can do. In the meantime the only information I have about the Griffiths family is as follows
Louise Edith Griffiths born quarter ending December 1871, Kensington volume 1a page 31
This should give the name of her father, the reason why I don't know what that is by the time of the 1881 census he had already died.
Ref: RG11/39 Folio 40, page 22, Kensington Town, District 44c
6 Faraday Road, Kensington
Elizabeth Griffiths, Head, widow, aged 30 Vocalist [music] Staffordshire W. Hampton
Louise E. Griffiths, daughter, single, aged 9, scholar, Middlesex, Paddington
Nellie E. Griffiths, daughter, single, aged 7, scholar, Middlesex, Paddington
Emma Smith, sister, single, aged 17 - Staffordshire, W. Hampton
Maria C. Bell, visitor, single, aged 4 - Scotland, Glasgow
I am not sure where W. Hampton, Staffordshire is - anyone out there in "Roots Chat Land" with any ideas? It might help to pin point the marriage between Elizabeth who I am guessing was Smith before her marriage and Mr. Griffiths.
One possibility is William Griffiths married either Elizabeth Smith or Ellen Byfield in the quarter ending March 1867, Dudley, volume 6c page 133, but if he was also a music hall artist, similar to her being a vocalist, then they could have been working anywhere in the country when they met!!!!!
We might have to start a new thread as this has now moved from Yorkshire to Staffordshire!
Hope this is of some help.
Best Wishes,
Patsy
