Title: Ester Griffiths 22/03/1899
Post by: Max Woodman on Thursday 30 January 14 21:06 GMT (UK)

I have an old welsh family bible.

In the front it says " Ester Griffiths born 22/03/1899"

Most of the family seems to have been born in Cilgerran but I can't seem to trace Ester. I have tried the usual sources

Any ideas?

Best option seems to be the below. Works if they waited a couple of weeks to register her birth

Esther Griffiths
Registration Apr-May-Jun 1899
Llandilofawr, Carmarthenshire  Vol 11a, p1133

that birth reg would look to tie in with this family in the 1901 census

1901 Greengrove Ucha, Hamlet of Blaenau, Llandebie, Carms RG13/5108 folio 39 pg 19
Elias Griffiths head mar 37 collier ostler below ground b. Llanon
Mary wife 37 b. Llandebie
David H son 17 doorboy b. Llanon
Mary A dau 13 b. Llanon
Jeremiah son 11 b. Llanon
Evan W son 10 b. Llanon
Rachel H dau 8 b. Llanon
Sarah J dau 6 b. Llanon
Thomas son 4 b. Llanon
Esther dau 2 b. Llandebie
not near Cilgerran, Pembrokeshire. There is no birth reg for an Est(h)er Griffiths registered at Cardigan, the registration district for Cilgerran, at the time you're looking at.
