Trying to find Griffiths

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

I'm trying to find out more about my Greatgrandfather Henry Griffiths. He was born in Droitwich Worcs in 1859. He married Mary Emily Pugh born 1864 in Stoke Prior Bromsgrove. They were married at St Andrews Church in Droitwich on 31 May 1883. I can't find any trace of Henry before his marriage but on the 1891 cencus he is shown as living with his mother Mary Atkins as head of the household and a widow. She was born in 1835 in Droitwich. I can't find any trace of her before this either. Henry had three sons as far as I know Charles (my grandfather) born in 1888, Walter born around 1896 and the third child who I don't have a name for. According to family legend Mary Pugh was an artist who had a picture hung in the Royal Academy in London. I would be very grateful if anyone can help me especially if you are related to my unkown Uncle. Janice Lynn Burford nee Griffiths
