There are these Griffiths born about 1878 with father William.

Griffith Evans William, Jimaima abt 1877 Penrhyndaedraeth, Merionethshire, Wales Son Llanfihangel Y Traethau, Merionethshire
Griffith Evans William, Mary abt 1877 Llanddeiniolen, Caernarvonshire, Wales Son Llanddeiniolen, Caernarvonshire
Griffith E. Evans William, Mary abt 1878 Ffestiniog, Merionethshire, Wales Son Ystradyfodwg, Glamorgan
Griffith Evans William, Eliza abt 1879 Llanarthney, Carmarthenshire, Wales Son Llanarthney, Carmarthenshire
Griffith Evans William, Margaret abt 1879 Llanelidan, Denbighshire, Wales Son Gwyddelwern, Merionethshire

As Ken said he couldn't find him I'd say they're not him.

Please can you give us the 1911 or 1901 census that you think is him?

can you let us know census details so we know which one he is please?

As you have only found him as an adult, I suggest he may be using a different first name. Is there a chance he was called William Griffith Evans, being called Griffith to differentiate him from his father?

Can you tell us where he was living in 1901 and we may be able to help?

Can anyone help? My grandfather Griffith Evans appears in the1901 and the 1911 census's- no problem here. However, his place of birth is unknown and I cannot find him or at least I cannot be sure I have found him. Any suggestions for approaching this from other angles. Any advice appreciated as I appear to be at a dead end. He has his father down as William on his marriage cert but none of the Griffith Evans's born in the year 1878 or thereabouts match this. confused!
