On the 1851 cenus William snr is shown aged 38, and there is a William Griffiths baptised on 30/7/1813 to William and Mary Griffiths.

A William Griffiths of Kington married Mary Shaw on 21/5/1810 at Pembridge.

Caroline is also a daughter of William and Eliza being baptised in 1832, just after William and Eliza were married
