Hi all
I am researching my husband's family tree and have hit a brick wall (as usual). His grandfather William Griffith married an Esther Smith c1880. I don't know where this marriage took place but it does say on 1901 cns William is 50 and born Meath and Esther is 42 and born Dublin. They had 9 children, the 1st born was Christopher aged 20 on 1901 cns but says he was born Belfast, yet all other children born it states in Dublin. Children were christopher, Mary Alice, Elizabeth, Nicholas, Esther, Bridget Mary, William, Patrick (who was my husband's grandfather), and John Joseph. They were quite a wealthy family owning many properties, they lived above their clothier shop in Mary Street on 1901 but also owned a public house at 32 Benburb St. William died between 1901 and 1911 as Esther is a widow on the 1911 but can't find his death. I am searching for their marriage and also both of their births before I can continue to trace any more of this family.
Any help would be be appreciated
Many thanks
