Mrs. Annie Griffiths
« on: Friday 05 June 09 16:08 BST (UK) »
During the 1920's Annie Griffiths ran a  hotel somewhere in South Africa with her husband . I don't know when or where they married , but I believe she was born ca 1880 in Lancashire . Her husband may have been called Jim. He left her some time during the '20's and she was supposed to have been "wooed" by the chairman  of S African Railways .She wouldn't marry him because  she was a good Catholic .
Annie returned to England in January 1931 .
Can anyone help me discover her maiden name ands birthplace
Thank you
Linden

I am wondering whetherr Annie's maiden name was Walsh . I guess that if I can find an Annie Walsh on a ship to South Africa Then I will have solved my mystery . I do have a record  of Annie Griffiths returning to England in 1930.
