Dear Cwm
Thank you for your reply... I'm afraid that I know so very little about Albert's family, so I could not say for certain whether he had a sister by the name of Sarah.
However, I do know that Albert's father was a  William Griffiths- on Albert's marriage certificate his father's occupation was an Ostler.  I think Albert's mother, Mary Davies-maiden name, married a Mr Watkins, possibly Dec quarter 1883 Bedwelty...does this sound along the right lines, Cwm?
I know Albert had brothers Edgar and Fred, as they are mentioned in Albert's obituary in 1933.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you will prove to be our first positive link with our Griffiths from the past!
I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks for your reply and kind offer of assistance.
My Renwick and Wheatley branches, and the information I have, are extremely limited- which is why I have posted my information to the list, in the hope that these names will mean something to another researcher!  But, here's what I have, so far.
The marriage certificate states that both James Renwick and Jane Wheatley were "of full age" and residents of Fine/Vine Lane Newcastle-upon-Tyne at the time of their marriage in July 1854.  James's father was Richard Renwick, a chain maker by occupation. Jane's father was George Wheatley, a butcher.  I tried to find both of them in Newcastle in 1851 without any luck- also, a search of Trade Directories for the area failed to find George Wheatley.
In 1861, James and Jane are found to be living in Lambeth- Jane's mother, Margaret Wheatley, is found to be living with them, now a widow. (So, George Wheatley must have died between 1854-1861). From the ages on the census- James Renwick is 27, Jane is 24 and mother-in-law Margaret Wheatley is 61- James Renwick and mother-in-law, Margaret's place of birth is recorded as Gateshead, while Jane says that she was born in Newcasle- upon-Tyne.  
James Renwick died in 1897, in Southwark, age 64, which would make his birth around 1833.  Jane Renwick died in 1925, aged 86, therefore giving her birth to be around 1839...which doesn't fit really with her being of "full age" when she married in 1854.  We do know both of her parents names though- George and Margaret Wheatley, but don't know where or when they married, or any information about other children that they might have had- only a clue from an old photo which shows a picture of  a "Mrs Sidney/Sydney Wheatley"...but I don't know if this is a possible sibling of Jane's or not, as I have been unable to locate them on any earlier census's than 1861.
They disappear to France in the years 1871 and 1881, showing up again in London in 1891.
Hope you'll be able to make sense of this rather garbled message... any help you can give will be greatley appreciated!
Many thanks,
Polly

Could any one help me with my Renwick and Wheatley ancestors?
James Renwick- (father-Richard Renwick, a chain maker) married Jane Wheatley-(father George Wheatley, a butcher) married at St Peter's Church, Newcastle Upon Tyne, in July 1854.  Both give their address as "Vine Lane" and their ages as "of full age".
I know that Jane Wheatley's mother was Margaret Wheatley, as she is found to be living with James and Jane in Lambeth in 1861- Margaret is described as a "widow" at this time.
I would love to hear from anyone researching these names, as we seem to have hit a brick wall with these family names.
Many Thanks
Sarah
