Hi there,
It doesn't take you any further back but have you seen the
inventory made after Joseph died (intestate)? On the Llgc website.
Absolutely fascinating! ref is Welsh Probate Records, Diocese of Bangor,
Parish of Llandygai, name Joseph Griffith, occupation Innkeeper B/1811/77.
There is a bond aswell.

Subject: [GWYNEDD] Joseph Griffith b c1760, d 1810
I am wondering if anyone would be able to help me with this enquiry,
please?
Joseph Griffith, b c 1760, died at Capel Curig 21.1810, (aged 50) where
he and his wife Elizabeth were the Innkeepers of the newly built Capel
Curig Inn (1803).
His father, who was also buried at Capel Curig, was Thomas Griffith, b
c 1714, d 19.2.1803 (aged 89).
The 2 Griffith gentlemen were not born in Capel Curig and Joseph did
not marry Elizabeth b 1779, Llanllyfni (and possibly nee Williams) there.
I wonder if they may have married in Caernarvon, but this is just a hunch.
Joseph and Elizabeth's first 2 children William, born c 1798, and
Catherine Anne, b c 1800 were also not born at Capel Curig. They later had
4 children between 1801 and 1807 at Capel Curig.
After Joseph's death, Elizabeth remarried the Rev Robert Hughes, curate
of Capel Curig, in 1812 and they had a daughter Eliza Letitia Hughes b c
1814.
If anyone can help with the Griffith family backwards/sideways from
Joseph, I would be very pleased to hear from them. There is a possibility
he might have a connection with the Griffith family of Llanrwst and/or
Caernarvon.
Thanks for any assistance with this enquiry, which seems to be going
nowhere at the moment!
Judith Mair
