Title: Searching for George GRIFFITH.
Post by: GILL77 on Wednesday 24 September 08 01:05 BST (UK)

I AM LOOKING FOR ANY INFORMATION ABOUT GEORGE ALEXANDER GRIFFITH AND WOULD BE REALLY GRATEFUL IF ANYONE COULD OFFER ME ANY HELP.

HE WAS BORN BETWEEN 1846 AND 1847. HE WAS WIDOWED WITH CHILDREN WHEN HE REMARRIED SARAH JANE OCKELFORD ON 27TH APRIL 1901 IN LONDON. HE WAS IN THE PIANOFORTE TRADE.

HIS FATHER WAS GEORGE GRIFFITH AND HE DIED BEFORE 27TH APRIL 1901. HE WAS A PIANOFORTE MAKER.
