Post by: Griffl on Sunday 13 April 14 17:00 BST (UK)
Hello all,  :)

It seems, I cant find a baptism for Benjamin Griffiths or any possible hint towards his parents...
I wonder if somebody might be able to help here...I have tried to include as many details as possible and please feel free to tell me if anything ive put down is wrong  ;)

Benjamin was born  at Llangain in circa 1802 ,

He married Charlotte Jones of Llangunnog in 1829

1841 census-St.Peter Carmarthen, Benjamin Griffith , Carpenter with wife and 3 children , Rachel(9),John(8),George(2).

1851 census-St. Peter Carmarthen , Coal Merchant ... Two new children Anna(9),David(my link+6)

1860-Charlotte Dies

1861 census-St.Peter Carmarthen, Coal Merchant... Hannah Griffiths dau(18+I believe is actually Anna) Housekeeper all other children left home

1871 census-St.Peter Carmarthen, Ship Carpenter , Rachel has returned , Domestic Servant.

1881 cenus-St.Peter Carmarthen, Living alone .Ship carpenter

Should be Llangunnor? The married on 24th November 1829 at Llangunnor after Banns in their respective Parishes. Unfortunately the marriage witnesses do not provide any clues for Benjamin's family.  :(

Yes that's correct, sorry about that!
Exactly, there is a possible baptism but it is quite a distance from Llangain itself..
