John Griffiths/Mary Dolphin marriage date.
« on: Wednesday 30 September 15 12:05 BST (UK) »
Could anyone please help me find the marriage date and parents names of John Griffiths born 1779 in Meifod and Mary Dolphin born 1782 in Montgomery. The date would be about 1805 -1812, possibly in Welshpool- Thanks.

Hello
Firstly there's this for Mary
Mary Dolphin bapt 14.10.1781 d of Edward and Mary Dolphin
Siblings Elizabeth 30.1.1779,Hannah 17.4.1784,Anne 13.2.1787.
There seems to be no marriage I can see and the only burial for Edward is at Welshpool 10.7.1822 Welsh Town age 75.
Mary 10.12.1831 Welspool age 75 Welsh Town

The nearest marriage I can see is at Chirbury Edward Dolphin and Mary Pugh 28.11.1777.
this would correspond to a baptism for Edward there 27.8.1749 to Edward and Elizabeth Dolphin.

For John Griffiths it's not so clear cut.
There's John s of William and Jonet Griffiths Meifod 24.8.1777.
But also
John 13.6.1779 s of Elizabeth or Catherine Griffiths illegitimate of Teirtref.

The latter is a transcription only and looking at the originals on line there is no entry for the 3rd of June.So where it is remains a mystery.(now found under 1780 and Elizabeth has been squeezed in above mother's name of Catherine).

Again can't spot a marriage and there are a lot of William Griffiths.No other children either.
There is a Richard Griffith on John's marriage as a witness in 1805 but no sign of him.Other witness Thomas Evans married by licence both of this  parish bach and spinster
