A warm welcome from me too Angie.There is a Marriage listed on North Wales BMD of a Jane Griffiths and a "Kenzie" Taylor in 1894.The Marriage took place at Rhyl Holy Trinity.The GRO equivalent for the Marriage is St Asaph Registration District,July Quarter 1894,Volume 11b,Page 481.I am unable as yet to find either of the couple in the 1901 Census.

I think may be the Abram Wood in this feature.

Well I have to admit to be struggling with this one!However the link to Llangelinnin suggests that the Abram Wood was buried in 1799.The Marriage of Jane Griffiths the supposed Grandaughter of this Abram Wood took place in 1894 at Rhyl.I can't get my head around all this!

im getting confused now, i din't say jane was abraham woods granddaughter i said a descendant .im struggling at the moment with the griffiths, its confusing when there are 2 women with the same name (for me it is any way,it doesn't take much lol).

Free BMD  has a possible marriage for

Jane WOOD
John GRIFFITHS
registered Machynlleth  Dec Q 1876 vol 11b page 312

Angieo4 - what age did Jane Griffiths state on her marriage to MacKenzie in 1894?

Post by: wrjones on Wednesday 03 December 08 09:51 GMT (UK)
After following all sorts of false trails I can finally come up with the following;

1891 Census,Rhyl Flintshire.
Jane Griffiths,Head widow born Ruthin Denbighshire c 1835.
John Griffiths Son born Ruthin Denbighshire c 1861.Grinder.
Mathew Griffiths Son born Rhyl Flintshire c 1867.Labourer.
Jane Griffiths Daughter born Rhyl Flintshire c 1871.
Amelia Anne Griffiths Grandaughter born Rhyl Flintshire c 1889.
RG12/4627/31/20.

1881 Census,Rhyl Flintshire.
Jane Griffiths,Head widow born Ruthin Denbighshire c 1833.
"Fay" Griffiths Son born Aberystwyth Cardiganshire c 1854.
John Griffiths Son born Ruthin Denbighshire c 1861.
Mathew Griffiths Son born Rhyl Flintshire c 1867.
Jane Griffiths Daughter born Rhyl Flintshire c 1871.
RG11/5528/19/3.

1871 Census,Rhyl Flintshire.
Jane Griffiths,Head widow born Ruthin Denbighshire c 1834.
Ann Griffiths Daughter born Tremadoc Caernarvonshire c 1851.
Theophilus Griffiths Son born Cwm Cardiganshire c 1853.
Emily Griffiths Daughter born Cerrig Y Drudion Denbighshire c 1856.
John Griffiths Son born Ruthin Denbighshire c 1861.
"Kayeswell" Griffiths Son born St Asaph Flintshire c 1863
Abraham Griffiths Son born Caernarvon Caernarvonshire c 1865.
Mathew Griffiths Son born Rhyl Flintshire c 1867.
Jane Griffiths Daughter born Rhyl Flintshire,8 months old.
Ann Jones Mother born Penmorfa Caernarvonshire c 1882.
RG10/5668/71/18.

All details are given as per Census entries as opposed to the Index on Ancestry.I'm afraid though as far as the Griffiths Family is concerned that is where the trail ends for I am unable to find any corresponding members of the Family in 1861.

I may have a possible Marriage for the John Griffiths and the Jane Jones but I won't be able to be definite about it until I have looked tomorrow at the Rhosymedre Resource Centre of Clwyd FHSS.
