http://www.gro.gov.ukA lack of Mothers sirname suggests that Bridget was born to an illegitimate mother.
I wonder if William and Bridget GRIFFITHS had a son before they had Mary, Rosina and Jane. Could Bridget (b. 1886) be the daughter of an unknown son?
The family I am doing the tree for says that Brigets mothers name is Jemima. They don't know her sirname.
