John Griffiths and Elizabeth Cotterell
« on: Tuesday 01 January 13 14:47 GMT (UK) »
John Griffiths married Elizabeth Cotterell on 3rd August 1816 at Bistre.
I don`t have the full details.

A daughter Esther Griffiths was baptised 18th October 1818 at Hawarden, the register gives Elizabeths maiden name of Cotterell.

Their son William Griffiths was born 26th January 1820 and baptised 15th October 1820 at Hawarden, parents named as John a collier, and Elizabeth Griffiths of Bistre
Elizabeth's maiden name is given as Cotterell in the margin of the entry.  

I have traced William from his marriage 5th October 1842 and in all census after that.
I`m not having much luck with his parents at all ?  Can anyone help.

Are those the only children you have for John and Elizabeth?

I have since found all this from various sources.

John Griffiths married Elizabeth Cotterell on 3rd August 1816 at Bistre.
A daughter Esther Griffiths was born 20th September 1818 in Buckley and baptised 18th October 1818 at Hawarden, the register gives Elizabeths maiden name of Cotterell.

This now moves to  the wrong counties
Charles Mitchell Best  Oct 1806 Event Type: Baptism  Parish: Halifax, St John the Baptist
Father's Name: John Best cordwainer Mother's Name: Mary Best

Esther married Charles Best Manchester  Dec 1843   Charles Mitchell Best / Esther Griffiths .

 William Best 1852 – Bolton
 Edward Best 1854 – Tomorden Yorks
 Agnes Best 1857 –  Tomorden
 George Best 1859 –b Leeds

 I only have the family in 1861  I can`t find them in 1851 . 
Deaths Mar 1864    BEST  Esther     Leeds

I'm not finding a suitable John Griffiths in 1841 or 1851.I was looking at a possible in 1841 but he shows as a brickmaker.

You will find the Best family are listed as Bert in Bolton in 1851.
