They appear to have emigrated soon after, as daughter Florence Louisa Griffin was born about 1883.

Florence was born in England.

I believe the daughter named “Daisy” in her mother’s 1931 death notice is “Harriett Daisy” born 1892.

In the 1930 electoral roll
Daisie Harriett GRIFFIN – book binder
(living 1 Carlotta St Greenwich, same address as her sister Ethel Swan)
and
Harriett GRIFFIN and Winnifred GRIFFIN (living at 43 Carlotta St Greenwich)

In 1954 electoral roll Daisy Harriett GRIFFIN is still living in Greenwich, still a book binder (so still unmarried then)

GRIFFIN   Harriet (Daisy)   
Death 10 OCT1955         late of Greenwich   
Death notice in Sydney Morning Herald   published 12OCT 1955

  • Dorothy Griffin (b. ?; d. before 1931)


I can't see any sign of a Dorothy in this family. Where did you come across this name?

TNGeneWhiz, if you are looking for living descendants of these ancestors, have you considered taking a DNA test?
