Trying to find more info on the ancestors of Benjamin Griggs b abt 1813 Sherington, Bucks.
1841 Census shows Benjamin living in Bradley, Derbyshire and he married his first wife Charlotte Bromley in Bradley that year. By 1851 they had moved to Tixall, Staffordshire.
After Charlotte’s death, Benjamin remarried 23 Aug 1862 to Mary Devall and entry of marriage shows his father as George Griggs – Farmer.
I believe that George Griggs could be the son of Benjamin Griggs and Ann Rogers and was born in Sherington abt 1777. Benjamin and Ann married in Sherington 23 Mar 1774.
I have found no record to show George’s marriage but there are records showing two Sherington births with father George Griggs and mother Ann. These are for Hannah Griggs b abt 1815 and John Francis Griggs b abt 1817.
Any information on the family of George Griggs, his parents and earlier ancestors would be appreciated
