Griffiths is used as a 'census substitute' as there are no surviving returns from that era. The oldest complete Irish census is 1901.

The results can provide clues to possible locations of connected families.

ok thanks,i do know she married a henry boswell from england so perhaps i will send for the marriage cert and get her parents that way thanks for your help.

As far as I know, English marriage certificates, just like Irish ones, only list fathers' names not the mothers' names.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
