Hi Anita,
I found these on North Wales BMD. Maybe you've already eliminated these.
There should be a civil registration on a birth in 1876/1877. Have you
written to the local office in Dolgellau? I've found that I can give them a
few dates to choose from with as much information as I have and they will
search all of them and try to pin down the correct one and only charge 7
pounds.
1875: GRIFFITH John Barmouth Gwynedd - De Meirionnydd (Dolgellau)
BRM/17/E237
1876: GRIFFITH John Barmouth Gwynedd - De Meirionnydd (Dolgellau)
BRM/17/E355
1875: GRIFFITHS John Barmouth Gwynedd - De Meirionnydd (Dolgellau)
BRM/17/E258
1875: GRIFFITHS Jonathan Barmouth Gwynedd - De Meirionnydd (Dolgellau)
BRM/17/E302
1876: GRIFFITHS John Barmouth Gwynedd - De Meirionnydd (Dolgellau)
BRM/17/E472
1878: GRIFFITHS John Barmouth Gwynedd - De Meirionnydd (Dolgellau)
BRM/18/E425
Good Luck.

Hello List:
In continuing search of my John Griffith, I'm a bit stuck and slowly going
broke paying the GRO for incorrect certificates.
John was born in 1876 or 1877 in Dyffryn (Ardudwy), Merioneth. His parents
were Robert and Jane. In 1881 the family is living in Tremadoc,
Caernarvon.
There are 4 John's listed as registered between Mar 1876-Dec 1878 in
Merioneth, and 21 in the same period in Caernarvon.
The parish registers for Dyffryn have no entried in this time period.
Any suggestions about how to narrow my search? Anyone who is going to a
local registry office? Can you look there for free?
I have tried John's known siblings, but equally as many entries. I have no
middle name for John anywhere.
Many thanks, Anita in Canada
