I am trying to trace my grandfather, John Griffith Owens aged approx 6 yrs old, born in Liverpool. It says on his marriage certificate that his father's name was Owen Owens, profession, solicitor. I have tried several sites, but to no avail. Please could someone help, it would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Linda. |

Hello Gerri, Thank you so much. Please could I impose upon you a bit more and ask if you found his mother's name. Kind regards, Linda. |

Hello Georgina, I really do appreciate you finding all that info for me, but I have managed to find him and his family since he got married. It's the time before that I can't find. |

Linda I have been searching the 1861 & 1871 census to try & find him but I am having no luck. I cant even see an Owen Owens who is a solicitor? Georgina. |

Georgina, could you try looking on the 1861 census for a John Griffith with a father called Owen Owens. Just a thought, he might be a stepson. Thanks. |

Linda there are quite a few John Griffiths born in Liverpool 1855 +/- 2 years but none who is a stepchild. I have been looking at Marriages in Liverpool between Owen Owens & a female Griffiths, the trouble is there are quite a few. Georgina. |

Thank you Georgina, I think this is destined to stay a mystery. I really have to go to bed now. Thanks again for all your help. Kind regards, Linda. |
