Monmouthshire Lookup Requests / Griffiths, Mitcheltroy
« on: Tuesday 15 May 07 14:41 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me? My family was in Mitcheltroy for most of 18th Century, before moving to Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire.
What I have is John Griffiths (died 1749) married to Hannah (died 1780). I don't know how long it's been there, but IGI Pedigree Page has entry for John born c.1715 and Hannah born c.1719. Whoever made the entry knows something. Not the baptism entries, otherwise they would have put the dates.
They had 3 children, Michael bapt. 18Oct1741, Thomas bapt. 17Jun1743 and Tasce bapt. 30Aug1747. Michael may have died in Monmouth in 1800. I am probably descended from Thomas. Tasce died 1757.
If correct, Thomas married Jane (She died 1802). They had 2 children, James born 1792 and Tasce born 1795. (I am aware of the marriage of a Thomas Griffiths and Jane Jenkins at Wonastow in 1782. Their children are well documented and they don't seem to stack up with my subsequent family history). I am probably descended from James 1792.
Tasce is an unusual name by 18th Century and I have been led to believe to have Quaker connections.
James 1792 -1857 married Susannah Carpenter c.1788-1859 at Newland in 1825.
I have been stuck here for more than ten years. I will be eternally grateful to anyone who can break the deadlock for me.
