Robert Henry Griffiths

[Cas (stallc)]

Possible Long shot..was Robert Henry raised by his uncle? Cannot find a birth reg in Aberystwyth to match 1881 census where he is named as son, found by Osprey.   MELIN-DWR., a township in Llanbadarn-fawr parish, Cardigan; on the river Rheidol, near Aberystwyth.

Possible 1851 census
Llanbadarn Fawr, Cardiganshire, Wales
Registration District   Aberystwyth
Residence   High Street
HO107 Piece/Folio 2485 / 283 pg 20

Margaret Griffiths   Head   F   47   Llangawsai, Cardiganshire
Thomas Griffiths   Son   M   25   Llangawsai, Cardiganshire
John Griffiths   Son   M   23   Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire
William Griffiths   Son   M   22   Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire
Mary Griffiths   Daughter   F   20   Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire
Jane Griffiths   Daughter   F   15   Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire
Margaret Griffiths   Daughter   F   6   Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire ******
Robert Griffiths   Son   M   4   Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire  ******
Richard E Griffiths   Son   M   2   Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire
Plus 2 servants

The birth reg in Swansea for Robert H Byron could possibly be the correct one, considering birth dates match up. Maybe he was raised by Margarets' brother? Just a thought...

This is possibly Robert senior who died 1895, I would contact Pontypridd Library and ask for a copy of the internment, via email if not in area, to see if correct and gleen more info, possible address or if any other family in same plot etc.

They have a very good family history reference library and from experience are very helpful.

Thank you - I'll explore these possibilities. Thinking outside the box.

Update - well it seems you guys were spot on. Thank you so much! I explored the death of Robert Griffiths 1895 in Pontypridd and the address on the death cert was the same address on Robert Henry Griffith's marriage cert. Hoorah! I can also see Robert Griffiths (senior) and Sarah on the census in Pontypridd in 1891.
I have found a marriage for Robert & Sarah in 1875 in Aberystwyth which proves that Robert Henry was either adopted by them, born out of wedlock or has a different parent(s) as he was born in 1873.
I have found a possible family link in Aberystwyth Llanbadarn Fawr, Robert Snr did have a sister Margaret a few years older than himself. But I am finding it hard to prove a link between Maragret/Swansea/George Byron. which would tie everything up.
Does anyone have any ideas where I could turn next please?

Thank you in advance.
