Hello Lorian

I have been reading the posts on your Griffiths with interest.

Some of these are my relatives.

The Amelia J Griffiths you mention is Amelia Jane Griffiths my great grandmother. Her mother's name was Harriet MEEK. James and Harriet moved with their family north, first to Chesterfield and then Amelia Jane married William George Cocksedge and moved to Barnsley area.

James Griffiths parents were James Griffiths and Jane and his grandfather was Giles Griffiths. Unfortunately I don't know which one as I believe there were two Giles born about the same time.

I would very much like to exchange information with you.

Hope to hear from you soon

Regards

Jenny

Hi Lorian,

I am glad you managed to get my e-mail. I read your post and you looked to be asking for information on who Thomas Griffiths mother was and who his sisters Alice and Amelia Jane married. I know who two of them married and if you look at this thread you will see that the Griffiths line has been traced further back.

I have also managed to find more information on this branch possibly going back to 1733.

If you still need the information on Thomas Griffiths mother and sisters please let me know.

Regards

Jenny

Hello Slowhands,

I can see from the census information you very kindly provided regarding James Griffiths and his wife Jane that you have a potential surname for Jane of HATTON?.

Could you let me know where this information is from please. This is the first time I have seen a maiden name for Jane and would be keen to follow this up.

Many thanks for all your help.

Regards

Jenny - who has just discovered she is researching the same family as Lorian.

Im really excited about the 1841 entry for Giles Griffiths with daughter Mary.

I see there are 2 1851 giles Griffiths entries and both married sarahs.

As the "other" Giles Griffiths had a baby Catherine in 1841 Im thinking "my" (possibly) Giles is not the one shown on 1851 census, ie the one who had Mary and James in 1841. My reasoning is that the Giles on 1851 census has a 10 year old Catherine who would fit in with baby Catherine 1841.

Can anyone, ie Slowhands let us see 1851 census for the other Giles Griffiths, ie the one with no Catherine.

Hope Im making sense.

Aha!
Takes me a while but sometimes I get there.

1861 already provided to me by slowhands

1861 Turners Tump
Sarah Griffiths abt 1787 East Dean, Gloucestershire, England Head
Ruardean Gloucestershire
Henry Griffiths abt 1835 Ruardean, Gloucestershire, England Son Ruardean
Gloucestershire
Giles Griffiths abt 1857 Blaenavon, Monmouthshire, Wales GrandSon
Ruardean Gloucestershire

This looks like the Giles Griffiths family Im interested in, theres a Sarah and a Henry that match the 1841 Griffiths lot that has Mary . Question is why is Giles senior with James whom Im also linking to this family.

im not getting there,
help!

Just an update re I got Giles Griffiths birth cert- born 1840 Ruardean, son of Giles and Sarah Griffiths - the ones with daughter Mary in 1841 census.
We now know that Sarahs maiden name was Morgan, doesnt that just narrow it down:)

Re Sarah Griffiths wife of Giles. There are two Giles both married to Sarah's.

There is a Sarah Griffiths burial on 9 Jun 1855 and she is aged 58 of East Dean. I think this is the Sarah married to Giles in East Dean with daughter Catherine.

I have just found this extract from the internet of parishioners who received "Outdoor relief April to September 1866". Ruardean (Ross Union) Payments made at Drybrook Fridays 1pm.

There is included in the list a Sarah Griffiths age 77, "Dead"

Could this be the other Sarah, the one I think is mine? She was alive in 1861 on the census. Doesn't seem to appear on 1871.

This certainly sounds like our Sarah, nee Morgan.

You are going great guns!

Does this mean that the parish buried her do you think?

How did you get your hands on the info?

I would love a copy of whatever it is that gives details of parish relief, overseers books etc, can you buy them online? I ask as i have some great info for my Bedfordshier rellies from these sources.

Now i really must go and watch that blooming footie!

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??.

Only Giles I can come up with in Ruardean apart from our Griffiths are a scattering of Giles Brains. I used IGI search forename Giles.
