Looks like you might have nailed this one for me Slowhands!!

After looking into Abiah Griffiths nee Yem I lost her after the 1861 census but she turned up in 1891 married to Richard Knight. Her son Thomas Griffiths was married in 1891 to Elizabeth and was living in 1891 at Snydale, Yorkshire, which is about five miles away from me! I wondered why my Grandfather came to Yorkshire for the mines, maybe it was because he had an Uncle Thomas he could stay with.

I can't seem to locate the family in 1871 or 1881. Fingers crossed they'll turn up.
