This is all fantastic information. - thank you
I asked my mum about this, and she has vague recollections of Caerhun Hall, and stories of some relation losing all there money to gambling - I wonder of this was a Griffiths at Caerhun - adds some colour to the history!

Thanks once again for all the help...

They seem a very interesting family and I'm sure I saw somewhere that they have been at Caerhun Hall since the 1600s, they're in the pedigrees of Caernarvonshire I think, so hopefully you can confirm this is the correct family with one or two certificates. Hope you'll keep us updated when you find out.

Good luck
Regards

Thanks for all the help doing the tracing of some of my relations.
I've just received some birth / marriage certificates that do confirm the searches that you have done.
In addition, the ancestry of Hugh Davies Griffiths (father of Edward Stanley Griffith) is documented on oneworld,
which has his family line going back to George Griffith in 1542!

Thanks for the update!  So I wonder if that means Edward Stanley is the one your mum is talking about that lost his fortune gambling (going from Gentleman on his own marriage cert to Engine Fireman on his son's marriage cert). Not much work left to do on that particular branch then as its all done for you, interesting family to have in your tree 

Let us know if you want any of the family on earlier censuses

Good Luck

Hey there, just read all the msgs and is very interesting. Edward Stanley is my great great uncle, brother of Llewellyn Rhun Davies- Griffith who married Georgina Hull in 1880 I think. I've researched a lot of the Welsh lineage and am very interested in anyone from the Davies- Griffith line. My great grandfather is William Notely. This line of the family is living in Australia. Llewellyn Rhun is from the second family of Hugh Davies -Griffith b.1798 d.1877 with whom he had with Georgina Morgan. His first wife was Hester Thomas , third wife is somewhere in my files.

Would love to hear from anyone, thanks
