It's a myth that Griffin is a Welsh surname. I made this map on wikipedia too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffin_(surname)

Hi,

I have created surname maps for Ireland based on the 1901 and 1911 census:

I would also like to include Great Britain in my maps. So I need a British census database. Can anyone direct me towards a possible source?

Regards,
Barra

I have discovered that my ancestor PATRICK GRIFFIN was born in 1840 in Kerry the family then left to live in newport South Wales
Does anyone know of this griffin Family
Thanks

Griffin is a common Irish surname and is one of the most common surnames in Co. Kerry. In this case
I think the clan is called Ó Grifín in Irish. My family are from Co. Clare and we are the Ó Gríofa.

I have made maps for our surname here:
