Hi Maxene,

Is this your Edward ?

Edward Griffin christened February 7th 1813 at Neen Savage, Shropshire; parents Thomas Griffin and Elizabeth.

If so, this is the family:

Hello Maurice - I am not sure if it is "my" Edward. I have his birth or christening as being C 7th June, 1809. He died in Australia in 1850 and his age at death was registered as 41 years old. The only info I have about his parents is that Thomas the father was a blacksmith. Thomas married Mary Ann Farmer in C1833 in Worcestershire. Thanks for your help. Maxene
