GRIFFITHS 1841/51 Merthyr Tydfil
« on: Sunday 24 July 05 10:40 BST (UK) »
Hello,

Possibly too difficult a request, as quite common names and I have very little details to offer.  However, if anyone is able to locate these for me I would be extremely grateful.

GRIFFITHS, Griffith
                   Dorothy (wife)

                           - - -

GRIFFITHS,Michael
                 Thomas   (son) (born 1830/31)

I had expected them to be in Cwmsifiog Mon. but I believe they could be in Merthyr Tydfil in 1841 and possibly 1851 also.

Thanks
Caroline :)

Hi Vicky,

Sorry if my message was somewhat confusing.
Michael is the father of Thomas

I believe Michael to be born around 1805

Griffith and Dorothy I know nothing about, except that they were Michael's parents. So I could only estimate their ages as I do not know if Michael had any older siblings.

Hi Caroline

Had a look at the 1841 and 1851 Glamorgan census but now good match for who you are looking for, :(
There were lots of Thomas and Griffith GRIFFITHS but on Dorothy or Micheal GRIFFITHS.
If I was you I would post this request on the Monmouth boards to see if anyone there can help you find them.

Hi Vicky,

Thanks for looking them up for me. My lot never seem to be where I expect, they seemed to move around a lot, presumably in search of work.

Thanks
