After looking on the IGI and with help from Nolene and her Ruardean Parish Records Carol and I have put together the following scenario for both the Giles Griffiths. It looks as though both Giles have a grandfather in common as I think their fathers were brothers. Following the trail leads us possibly to a John GRIFIT and Dorothy who married sometime before 1679.

John GRIFIT and Dorothy married before 1679

Children:
Mary bap 1679
John bap 1682
Tho. Bap 1684
Ann bap 1690
Sarah bap 1693
John bap 1695
Luke bap 1697
Elizabeth bap 10/12/1699
Jane bap 1701
Godfrey bap 1703

Elizabeth GRIFFITHS bap 10/12/1699 had base born child
John GRIFFITS base son of Elizabeth baptised 28 Sept 1733 Ruardean, Glos

John GRIFFITS married Sarah JONES 1 May 1755 at Ruardean after Banns
Children: All baptised Ruardean
John Griffitts baptised 28 Mar 1756
Sarah bap 5 mar 1758
Thomas Griffiths baptised 20 April 1760
Mary bap 10 Apr 1763
Elizabeth bap 15 May 1768
Elinor bap 26 Mar 1771


John GRIFFITS (baptism date 28 March 1756) married Sarah HARRISON 16 Sept 1780 Ruardean
Children: All baptised Ruardean
John Griffiths bap 28 Jan 1781
Susanna bap 27 July 1783
Hannah bap 12 Nov 1786
James bap 6 Sept 1789
Thomas bap 23 Jan 1792
Giles Griffiths bap 10 April 1796


Thomas GRIFFITHS (baptism date 20 April 1760) married Mary (unknown)
Children: All baptised Ruardean
Thomas bap 25 Aug 1782
Giles bap 5 Dec 1784 – buried 19 Oct 1788
John bap 10 Jun 1787
Amelia bap 3 Jan 1790
Elizabeth bap 9 Sept 1792
Giles Griffiths bap 24 May 1795
William bap 11 Feb 1798
Hannah bap 1 Sept 1799
William bap 24 Oct 1802
Kitty bap 14 April 1805

It looks as though the two Giles Griffiths born about the same time are born to two brothers John Griffiths and Thomas Griffiths. Their parents were John Griffiths and Sarah Jones.

So where does the name Giles Griffiths come from??.
