I have been looking up the Griffith family who were landowners in Esclusham and nearby in the 18th and 19th century. I see that the couple Elizabeth Griffith (1781-1858) and Robert Glyn (also Glynne) Griffith (1778-1857) were around in the 1851 census, but it seems they had moved away from their house at Lloftwen in Coedpoeth. I wonder if someone can tell me where they were? I think the 1841 census is missing.
Elizabeth Griffith inherited the estate of her father Edward Griffith (wife Sarah) around 1800. I have yet to discover Edward's father, but there is a property transaction in 1724 which mentions "Anne Griffith of Morton Wallicorum, co. Denb., widow, and her son and heir apparent, Edward Griffith". Edward Griffith appears in other local property transaction until 1776, and possibly as a tenant in 1796 (if its the same person).
The problem I am having is discovering the changes in names of the farms that seemed to occur about this time, and tracing the family tree of the landowners might help me.
Perhaps there is a Griffith family burial plot, but I have yet to discover it. Robert Glyn Griffith was born in Mold, but was seemingly from another Griffith bloodline. Any ideas welcome - and they do seem to be Griffith rather than Griffiths.
Thanks
