Some of the dates are close to the 1880 census that I have but the names
don't match up.
I also have an 1900 U.S.census and where it has number of children
apparently she had 19. I just can't imagine a woman having that many
kids.Didn't they get head aches back then ? LOL.
Thanks for the look up.

Hi Jim
I've found on Ancestry.co.uk that in the Wales Censuses from 1861 to 1901
there are 9 different persons of the name Christmas Griffiths, but only
one
on the 1861 census and he was born in 1857. If you think any of them
could
be from a branch of your family I can take another look for you. They
are
from several diffferent Welsh counties but none from Bangor in
Caernarvonshire.
There are 25,000 matches for Walter Griffiths in 1861 Census, and equal
numbers of Williams and Rachels. I did get the result below when I
searched
for Annie in the 1871 census Wales.
Name Estimated Birth Year Birthplace Relationship Civil Parish or Township
County/Island
Annie Griffiths abt 1856 Bangor, Caernarvonshire, Wales Daughter Bangor
Caernarvonshire
Elizabeth M Griffiths abt 1868 Bangor, Caernarvonshire, Wales Daughter
Bangor Caernarvonshire
Margaret Griffiths abt 1829 Holyhead, Anglesey, Wales Head Bangor
Caernarvonshire
Margaret C Griffiths abt 1866 Bangor, Caernarvonshire, Wales Daughter
Bangor Caernarvonshire
Walter C Griffiths abt 1863 Bangor, Caernarvonshire, Wales Son Bangor
Caernarvonshire
Hope this helps.
