Hi Su,
I was unable to download yesterday and got quite excited when I read all the
E. Mails today as I am pretty sure we have established a relationship.
My G.G.Grandfather was Benjamin Griffiths born Circa 1800 at Llangain and
married to Charlotte Jones. In 1841 and 1851 the family was living at Quay,
Carmarthen and the children were
Rachel born 1832
John born 1834
George born 1839
Anna born 1842
David born 1846 and my G. Grandfather.
There is no other George Griffiths born 1839 in the 1851 Census Index for
Carmarthen Town so it is almost certain that George, the Licensed Victualer,
is the same person. There is also a recurrence of the names Benjamin,
Charlotte, etc.
Unfortunately I have been unable to get back beyond Benjamin so far as I can
find no record of a baptism at Llangain, I believe the family were at
Ferryside in that Parish but cannot prove it. I have a screed on my side of
the family to the present day and suggest that if you are interested we make
contact direct.
Best wishes
Peter Griffiths, in Melkbosstrand, near Cape Town.
