ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Emma Report 17 Sep 2017 21:46

My direct ancestor is Elizabeth Griffiths 1838 Stoke on Trent there are two possible mothers names for this ancestor - Jackson or Hurst

Elizabeth's father is george Griffiths born newcastke under Lyme staffs (1809) as determined by her marriage certificate 1865 SOT to George Rawlins / Rawlings.

I m struggling to locate a marriage for George Griffths so I can ascertain if Elizabeths mother is hurst or Jackson.

Thank you !!

Does she show on any census with siblings that you can check for birth registration

Her marriage cert would not show the age and place of birth of her father ??

It would show his occupation - what was this please?

The 1871 census is correct I ve come across that before - I don't think it's the right family for 1841 census all Griffiths based around Newcastle u Lyme then movers to burslem - tunstall areas

Emma

Emma Report 17 Sep 2017 23:07

Oh yeh good idea checking the siblings who were born after 1837 will do that.

Emma

Emma Report 17 Sep 2017 23:09

Oh just seem that census says born 1847 that would still work out as 18 yrs old for 1865 wedding to George Rawlins (aka Roland's lol)

Emma

Emma Report 17 Sep 2017 23:10

I meant in my opening comment George was determined as Elizabeths fatter by the marriage cert not his age or residents in Newcastle ??

Emma

Emma Report 17 Sep 2017 23:13

Do you think that 1851 census indicates the right Elizabeth ( interesting !!)

Still can't find Elizabeth Griffiths mother - no Chelton births or marriages associated with the babe Griffirhs
Also which George is my ancestor

There's George Griffiths 1809 & another one 1816 both Newcastle under Lyme but they have different fathers.
