not sure if this information - is 'somewhere' on the Forum ...... and am note sure if this is your GRIFFITHS line ....

(think this William is the son of John & Elizabeth GRIFFITHS christened 28 June 1818, Blakeney)

'nor on William and Elizabeth GRIFFITHS' eldest son, William c1817, also in his father's will'
