Diana Griffiths
« on: Wednesday 12 July 17 10:49 BST (UK) »
Looking for help in finding a record of the birth of Diana Griffiths.
In 1845 she married Thomas Bowles in Norwich, her father's name was David Griffiths (soldier).
On 1851 census her birth was 1809 Gibraltar. Any help would be much appreciated.

This is a strange one.

Saw on the 1851 census that Diana had an 18 year old son, Thomas, born Norwich.

She must have been married previously - does it indicate widow on the marriage certificate?

This looks like the baptism of the Thomas I mentioned earlier
November 14 1832.

He's a Thomas "Balls" Griffiths .... could this be "Bowles"?
