John Griffiths Kidwelly
« on: Tuesday 28 November 06 19:30 GMT (UK) »
I have a John Griffiths born 1814 in Kidwelly who married an Elizabeth born 1814 in Narberth.  They moved to Swansea and had children Thomas 1837 Hannah 1845 William 1851 and John 1860. Is anyone researching this family please?

Dates can be a bit wobbly sometimes.  I have a John Griffiths baptised Kidwelly 16.4.1812 illegitimate son of William , a blacksmith.  In October 1813 William married Mary Means - may be John's mother.  Afraid I don't know what happened to this John.  He was not around K at the time of the first census. :-X

Hi Arranroots, I haven't got any further with this line but I often find another researcher comes across my posting a long time after I have placed it .
Thanks to the person who gave me a possible lead which I will keep in mind - unfortunately a very common name!

You are right Chris, it is often surprising how search engines find posts long after they have been written.

good luck!
