Hopefully this link will show that the spouses fathers name was Walker, suggesting she was not widowed.

Thank you I was hoping her name was Mobberley.

I have found William Mobberley on the 1851 census with 2 grandchildren  called Griffiths.

The only marriage I could find was for Elijah Griffiths and Frances Walker

The problem I have is 2 of Williams other childrens marriage certs show Elijah and Frances Griffiths as witness'

In 1861 the 2 Griffiths children are with Elijah and Fanny.

Trying to find who the parents of the grandchildren are.

The marriage is on free reg, confirming she was a spinster

Hi

One of the children with Elijah and Frances in the 1861 census was HONOR born 1845. She married a Joseph Chance in 1863 and named ELIJAH as her father, witnessed by George Griffiths.

There is a possible death for Frances Griffiths in 1843, which might explain why the children are with grandparents, Elijah may have remarried by 1861

Edit. Just seen Honor born 1845, rules that out

George bn c1840 can be seen on the 1841 census with Elijah and Frances in Kingswinford where Honor says she is born
