Help finding person please...... Elizabeth Mary Griffiths - born in June in 1896

[gemma6677]

I'm having great trouble trying to find my great grandmother.  Our family knew her as Elizabeth Mary Griffiths - born in June in 1896 in Pembrokeshire.  Her mother is M H Griffiths (Maiden name of George) and her father is unknown.  Her adopted father is Thomas William Griffiths.  She lived in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire on the 1911 census (which is attached).  I'm completely stumped trying to find Elizabeth Mary Griffiths (born George) at all.  The only person i can find is a lady called Mary Elizabeth George with a mother of Margaret Helena George and unknown father born 8/6/1896.  This seems like too much of a coincidence for me.  Does anyone else agree that this is the same person?  Or can anyone else find birth records for an elizabeth mary george?

Hi Gemma and welcome to Rootschat
census has Elizabeth Mary George aged 14 Step Daughter
current marriage as 10 years
none of the others are step children to the Head - so obviously Elizabeth Mary is the only one not named Griffiths
for what it's worth - I think you do have the right lady

hi and welcome to rootschat,

on the 1911 census the marriage is shown as 10 years with one child being born.
the youngest child is therefore the child of TW and MH Griffiths.
Elizabeth George, stepdaughter may be illigitimate from your findings so far.

I have found 2 marriages on freebmd;
1900 june quarter   Thomas William Griffiths and Helena George
1903 june quarter   Thomas Griffiths and Elizabeth George. (both at Haverfordwest)

the 1900 marriage is the best match to the census. a marriage certificate would confirm the status of Margaret Helena at marriage.

however, I have a feeling, like you that this could be the same person.

cheers

Thankyou all so much.  This has been a huge task for me - and you have all confirmed what my findings have been.  This is my first attempt at tracing any family history and was quite daunted with lots of information.  I didn't list my findings on my post and am glad that others have come to the same conclusion as i have.  I shall post m h george's marriage certificate later, however here's her birth certificate

If the 1900 marriage Helena GEORGE to Thomas William GRIFFITHS is the correct one for your Margaret Helena GEORGE born 1869

1901 census Pembroke Steynton have following persons
