Monmouthshire / GRIFFITHS, Rassau, Tredegar, Newport
« on: Friday 30 April 04 15:53 BST (UK)  »
My Great-Grandfather was Albert John Griffiths, born 1875 in Rassau, Brecon.  His father was William Griffiths- a labourer at the time of Albert's birth, but an "ostler" by the time Albert married in 1896, in New Tredegar.  Albert's mother was Mary Davies.
Albert's father died sometime before 1883, and Albert's mother remarried- ? Watkins, a stone mason.
I am hoping that you'll get in touch, if these names are in your own family tree- as I am having very little luck with my Griffiths ancestors.  I know that Albert had brothers Edgar and Fred, but I've been unable to find them on the 1881 census...can anyone help?
Many thanks

Northumberland / Renwick+ Wheatley, Newcastle-upon Tyne

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
