Nothing else on 1911:
ROBERTS, Robert Head Widower M 67 1844 Retired Station Master Monmouthshire Newbridge
PHILLIPS, Susanah Housekeeper Single F 42 1869 Housekeeper Domestic Monmouthshire Risca
RG number: RG14 Piece: 32018 Reference: RG14PN32018 RG78PN1841 RD587 SD3 ED19 SN321
Registration District: Newport Sub District: Rogerstone Enumeration District: 19 Parish: Risca Address: 16 Station Road Risca Mon County: Monmouthshire

Maybe Ione could give us a few dates, so we do not spend any more time guessing, as Cardiff, Festiniogg and Aberystwyth gives us a tour of Wales.
And no obvious Richard Morris Griffiths showing in 1911, as I had already looked.
Edith is a different Roberts daughter in 1911(as she and Sydney are living with her parents)

Meanwhile ........ do I gather correctly, we have been looking for a Richard Morris Griffiths, SON of Robert Roberts as you said in your header message


BUT in fact, Robert Roberts and Richard Morris Griffiths are YOUR two grandfathers


ie NOT related???????????????

Births Sep 1876
GRIFFITHS Richard Morris Pontypridd 11a 358
not:
Births Dec 1876
GRIFFITHS Richard Morris Swansea 11a 703?

Cannot see Richard Morris Griffiths in 1911 as a butcher.
Who and when did he marry?
Thanks

hi sylvia, this is Ione Holbourne. I am Robert Roberts great granddaughter. My grandfather was Brynley Thomas Roberts his son, who became a Teacher. a Baptist Minister and eventually Mayor of Cowbridge in Glamorgan. His son John Victor Raymond Roberts was my Father. Are we related

No, Ione

we are not related.


I am one of the many GR members who help other members by finding information


We call ourselves the helpers

we almost all have the Standard membership in GR, plus subscriptions to other sites ..... and enjoy looking up things, finding facts, and helping


it isn't GR that does the searching on thse boards, it's other members!




Now that we have cleared that up


can you please tell us if ANYTHING that we found the other night is helpful, or belongs to your family


we were searching under a handicap in that you said Richard Morris Griffiths was the son of Robert Roberts ..... which was not the case.


are you now looking for Richard Morris Griffiths ONLY, or what??

Hi Sylvia, I'm afraid I have confused everyone by getting grandfathers mixed up. My paternal grandfather was Brynley Thomas Roberts, my maternal grandfather was Richard Morris Griffiths. Because he was married to a Mary Jane Roberts, no relation to Brynley, andmy mother who was a Griffiths married John Victor Raymond Roberts who was Rober tRoberts Grandson, and I wasn'twell when I posted it all, I have confused everyone. My deepest apologies.

Thank you very much for clearing up my Gt. Grandfather's details. I am very grateful.

I have a Richard Morris Griffiths born 1873 Llanrwst Denbighshire, he married 1900 Alsager, Cheshire, Sarah Ann Dale born 08/11/1878 Alsager Cheshire. They definitely had 5 children all born at Crewe, Cheshire: Walter Morris Griffiths20/12/1900-1975, Stanley Llewellyn Griffiths 29/04/1902-1978, Clarence Griffiths 03/07/1904-1990, Vera Griffiths 1908, Eric Thomas 1910-1928. There are possibly 4 other children Cyril J Griffiths 1918 Cheshire, Reginald V. K. Griffiths 1919 Cheshire, Kenneth Griffiths 1922 Cheshire and Hermione Griffiths 1924 Cheshire. Richard Morris Griffiths died 1951 Cheshire and his wife died in 1957 Cheshire. It is possible that Richard Morris Griffith's father was Robert D Griffiths and his wife was Harriet. Richard was a railway engine fireman. Sarah Ann Dale's parents were Thomas Dale and Margaret Hollinshead.
