Griffiths - Parish Birth Record Information Requested
« on: Tuesday 23 October 18 19:24 BST (UK) »
Hi all-
Will some kind soul who has access to the original parish record (not the index) please look up the exact information shown, or better still take a photo of the record and email it to me?
I'm looking for the birth info for the birth of James Griffiths b= 1836 to 1838 in Clun (Clungunford) Salop, Page 18, Volume 52 in the index.

His father should be listed as James/John and his mother should be listed as Eliza/Ellen/Eleanor Hulme.

I have found the listing on 3-different search site (2 of which I subscribe to) and the all only show the index not the record itself.
I have found a listing for the same in 1843.
Thanks in Advance for Your Help
Willie

The General Register Office (GRO) has the birth registration of -

James Griffiths, September Quarter 1838, district The Clun Union, volume 18 page 52 - mother's maiden name NOT present.

You are quoting details from the index to this birth registration. This is not the parish record.

Sight of the certificate itself is only available through purchase - either via the GRO or the local registry office holding that record.

There's a baptism on 27 Sep 1835, Clun, of a James Griffiths, parents, William and Elizabeth, father labourer, abode Upper ?

St George is the parish church for clungunford, which is 6 miles from clun.
Shropshire archives have christenings records listed in their catalogue, which they say may be available on FindMyPast.

There is a baptism in Lydbury North which is in the Clun RD

1 Dec 1838 James Griffiths, Mother - Elizabeth Griffiths, a single woman.

This would match the GRO record  as it usually has a blank where the mother is single.

It looks as if he died a few days later aged 2 months - same parish, same abode (Choulton)

GRO death ref:

Q4, 1838, Clun Vol 18 Page 41
