Hi again obbie,

I also wish you the very best of luck in your research.  My Griffin line I know had a link also to Bandon in Cork and one was a Deep Sea Diver albeit it seems from a Farming Family in Kilmaley in Clare.

Too many Griffins/Griffen's/Griffey's/Griffith's and loads with the Christian Name of John so gotta keep plugging away...

Thank you so much for the information.  I will check it out Clare records are difficult.

I have had some info from John and the Parish Priest at Kilmaley all of which I appreciate greatly.

Any of your links to the King Family?

Cyprus Dave is full of History and it's people are a European Mix.  The Island has been conquered/ Given away/ Sold/ you name it and Cyprus has done it.

St. Pauls Pillar in Pafos where he was scurged...

The Church of St. Lazerus who became the first Bishop of Larnaca and is buried there...

The Tomb's of the Kings of Greece...

The Mosaics in Pafos...

Too Many to mention aside from The Sea Battle of Richard the Lionheart off the coast of Famagusta..

There are many stories of Richard in Cyprus but the best one was Dave.

When he arrived needing wood for repairs to his ship while on a Crusade.  This was refused because the Locals did not want to cut down their beloved trees..  So  he just upped and took the Island just to get the Trees and was so pissed off he then nicked the Queen....lol..lol 

Later to just give it away because he was still so pissed off...lol

Commendaria is the Sweet Wine you refer to Dave.

Hi Dave Cyprus is famous for it's Zivania which is their version our Irish Poteen except where we Irish use the Skin of the Spuds the Cypriots make theirs from the skin of the Grape.  Served from the Freezer and it sure is Fire Water..lol

Most Tourists go for the White Aphrodite or Red Othello Wines and miss all the excellent wines that are available.  It's the Life that we all head off for until we are swamped by people who only wish to make as many changes as possible and then the life we all found is lost.

I have lived aside Fishermen for many years and who could not give a toss about anything only their Family and their Catch.  And that suits me just fine.

You are so right Dave I remember Ayia Napa (Holy Wooded Valley) as a Wooded Valley with not a sign of a Tourist.  Just Farmers and Fishermen. When people had time for each other and the topic of their conversation wasn't "Smile and Take the Money"

Dave I agree and now you can I hear be buried in Bio-degradable Coffins and that is the way furure burials in the UK are gonna be.  Something to be said for Burials at Sea at least you have loads of space...lol

As for the Kids I am sure mine would sell the House and blow the Dosh in Ayia Napa....

John Griffin Married Anne King in Kilmaley Parish Clare 24th June 1840.   

Help to find any Children of this Marriage and the name of the Chapel would be appreciated.
