Griffin - Wicklow to Western Australia
« on: Friday 25 July 08 10:28 BST (UK) »
In my family tree I have an Owen Griffin (b1826) Dunlavin, Ireland. His parents were Thomas Griffin and Margaret Linnox.

He was married in Dublin to Ann Parry from Rathfarnham in abt 1852/3 before coming to Western Australia on the "Dudbrook" and settling in Fremantle.

Any information on the Irish family appreciated.

Tara, good findings!!
Hi Kate, 1906 electoral rolls for South Fremantle Attfield St has
Owen private means & Thomas stock keeper.
1903 same address Owen is a gentleman, Annie home duties & Thomas a stock keeper.
Tinam
added I've found the 3 of them in 1910 census. Owen a pensioner & Thomas retired.

William Henry Mansbridge is in 1910 census also but his wife is Mary, Balcatta Perth.
Perhaps he is Margaret's father in law? There is a death in 1914 and he's 80 yrs of age.

I am soooo sorry I have not been here for so long, and not replied to your posts.
Have had a year full of family sadness and such like  ::)
But now I am back and in full research mode  ;D
Can't wait to get started.  My gorgeous brother and his wife want to get me an Ancestry subscription, so I can do all the family history.  Not a big job I am sure  ;)
Will look at all the above info and be back soon
