Briffett family name
« on: Sunday 21 September 08 20:51 BST (UK) »
The Briffett family name was very prominent in Brithdir in the early 1920s.  Can someone please help locate a Hector Briffett on the 1901 census?   I found this marriage for a Hector B.P. Briffett, don’t know if it is the same guy.

Marriages Jun 1924   
BRIFFETT  Hector B P     Mellens     Merthyr T.  11a 1535   
Mellens     Elsie M           Briffett     Merthyr T.  11a 1535

The only Hector B P Briffett in the 1901 I can find is a Bridgewater family, he is ten months old, and they are all living in Bridgewater, Somerset

There is a birth of Hector Baden P Briffett Bridgewater Somerset. June qtr 1900.

Is it possible to transcribe the household on the 1901C for this family.  I may be able to identify other family members.

Thanks
