William Griffin 1819 1901

[James2you]

Hi, can someone please advise me where I can find out more about the above, I was given his birth place as Thoringstone, Leicester , quite some time ago and never really followed it up until recently
I do know he wed in 1840 and then again in 1864, and moving to Grantham Lincolnshire at some point, I would like to know about his parents if possible..

Thanks again
John

Well thanks Doran54, I did struggle with the parents and began to wonder if Thringstone was correct, I am always grateful for any help, I will now try and research the parents..

Thanks again.
