Hello Bill and Peggy
Simple question, but have you searched for him in the 1881 census.
Probably
in Manchester. I suspect the birth date is wrong that you have, but
you
may
be able to easily check his age and date of birth in the 1881
census.
Quite a few listers have their own CD copy and I am sure a Griffith F
Jones
in Lancs (aged about 8) won't be too difficult to locate.
Best wishes
