Thanks Doran. Just checked them out and it looks as though the Griffiths were English at least as far back as Albert's great-grandfather. He came from Ellesmere in Shropshire, which quite possibly means he was a Welsh-speaker as many in that area are even today. But I think I'd be pushing my luck to call Griffo Welsh ;)

   Thanks to all for your help.
