Griffith/Richard - Bala
« on: Saturday 09 June 12 18:50 BST (UK) »
I am searching for any info on a John Richard or perhaps Griffith who was living in Bala in 1844. He was born to Richard & Jane Griffith in 1792 and that is the only info I have on him.
Have found a birth of 1 John Richard b. 1792 d. Bala Apr. 1869 and another one b. 1793, d 1871 at Bala.
Records show that a Griffith Griffith was born July 24 1792  in Llanymawddwy - could this be the right on and a change of name?
Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thank you
Catherine Johanson

I had Gwyneed office do a search of births for Richard & Jane Griffith and this is what they sent me:
Jane B. 1785 May 22
Elizabeth B. 1790 Mar. 15
Griffith B. 1792 Jul 24
William B. 1795
Evan B. 1798 (they didn't send me that one but I am very sure he is my 4x
                      grandfather).
I had found previously that a Griffith son of Richard & Jane was born Nov.1781 and was a burial June 1784 of a John Griffith (no age)- don't know if applies.
My info is that Richard Griffith & Jane Jones were married 1781 May 5.
As the only info I have for sure is a John Richard in Bala in 1844, I'm grasping for straws!!
Thank you for your interest
