William Griffiths 1833 (General)
Hi,
I am researching William Griffiths born 1833 in Ruardean. I know that he married Abiah Yemm in 1856 and have traced him up to 1861 census but after that have found that Abiah is living on her own with the children and then remarries in 1877(Richard Knight). Does anyone know what happened to William? I have tried to trace his death but had no success. Abiah's youngest child (Amos) in the 1871 census is only about a year old but she is listed as head of the household.
