I had a brother named Arthur who was known by everyone as Archie. He was first called Archie while we lived in Bangor.
In case you haven't seen it, there is a marriage on 29 Mar 1911 at St Cybi's Holyhead between Robert Arthur Griffith, 30, sailor of 32 Upper Garth Road, Bangor, son of John Griffith, sailor (deceased) and Mary Grace Hughes, 27 of 25 Cross St. Holyhead, dau of John William Hughes, sailor (deceased).
The baptismal record referred to by despair has John Hugh Griffith's mother as Mary Price Griffiths.
