Title: Griffiths/Roberts family in Staffordshire
Post by: Debwilson1967 on Monday 02 April 07 10:06 BST (UK)

I am trying to find The Griffiths family.  I have Thomas Griffiths born about 1824 in Coseley, married to Emily Jane Roberts.  Their daughter Ellen Sophia Griffiths was born in Pensnett 1853.  Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Yes this is them.  Thomas was married twice firstly to Ann and then Emily, I descend from Emily.  I was trying to find the parents of Thomas but not having much luck.  Thanks for your help  ;D
