Only clue we have is Sgt Delves written on the back. We don’t know which member of the family this could be.

Flintshire / Re: Griffiths family from Bagillt causing aggravation!

Thomas names his father as John Griffiths, Engine driver, on his marriage cert 2nd July 1870 at the
? Hethebosh Chapel Whitford mills Holywell, to Elenor Jones.
Bride and groom were both living at Pentre Bagillt, and witnesses were John Jones and Jane or Janet Roberts.
As for the older daughters I can’t pin them down either!

Well now I am even more confused!
I had never considered the ages of John and Mary in relation to Thomas being their son, but there is a big age gap between him and Caroline. I know it’s not impossible for women to have a surprise baby when they think they are past the menopause, but aged 53 does seem to be stretching it a bit far!
So if John and Mary are not his parents who are? and how do I pin down a Thomas Griffiths born 1847 in Liverpool from amongst dozens of them!

Thank you for your reply,
I had seen the entry for Carlina but dismissed it as there was no mention of a sibling called Margaret anywhere, John was described as a farmer,not a carrier or Carter, and the miss spelling of Caroline.
I did wonder if maybe the child called Margaret Bellis had died in infancy. If she was born in 1926 she couldn’t have witnessed the marriage in 1915, but then I suppose that might have been her mother!
It’s all so confusing , especially when so many families in the same area have the same names!!!

Flintshire / Griffiths family from Bagillt causing aggravation!
« on: Friday 14 July 23 20:03 BST (UK)  »
I am endeavouring to research my maternal ancestors who were mostly born in Bagillt.
In particular I really need to find the maiden name of my G Grandmother Mary.
In the 1940 census I have the Griffiths family in Coleshill back or Bach, all born in the county.
John aged 50 a Carter.
Mary his wife aged 45.
Mary daughter aged 15
Ann  daughter aged 10
May daughter aged 10
Caroline daughter aged 7

In 1851 census
John aged 57  carrier born Bagillt
Mary aged 56 born Bagillt
Caroline aged 18 born Bagillt
Thomas aged 3 ,my G Grandfather. Born Liverpool.

I was hoping to find  a marriage for John and Mary, or births for the children in order to ascertain Mary’s maiden name but have been unable to find anything.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated,thank you.
