Can anyone have a look to see if they can find a John Griffiths age 46 born Swansea. His wife is Joanna (or Anna) age 47 if still alive). Children may include Phillip 27, Anne 26, John 24, Fred 22, Jessie, 20, Daivd 17, Lily 15, Albert 12. Need this info to tie 1881 census data to the 1905 New York Census

Thanks that's absolutly briiliant - John was a sailmaker in the 1881 Census, and in the 1905 US census Annie the mother was living with them in New York, so it seems very likely that its the right family.
