Hi

Do you have his parents' names. The 1891 has three possibles:

Price and Mary - indexed as Price but looks like Reece to me 

Edward and Francesca

Sarah E

yes gadget you are right. his mother was sarah e griffiths. his dad was edward , but i couldn't find him on the censuses. he was about the saME age has her.i don't know when they died either.

It would seem that Edward died at sometime between the 1881 census and the 1891 that I've shown above.
I assume you have seen the 1881, where Sarah, aged 37,  is shown as married rather than widowed and is an engine driver's wife - living at Hughes's Row, Adywrclawdd, Bersham. With her are John, 12, Robert, 10, Sarah E, 4, and Alfred E, 2. All are shown as being born Wrexham. REf is RG11/5515 V. 70 P. 6.

I'll check on deaths during the 1880s for Edward.

If you go to www.ancestry.co.uk and search their FREE BMD index, you'll find that there are a number of Edward Griffiths deaths in the 1881-1891 period in the Wrexham/Chester area.

The most likely one is:
December Quarter 1883, Wrexham, Vol. 11b, page 197,  aged 39.

The North Wales BMD Index shows quite a number of Edward's also, mainly registered Ruabon - which is possible - It's worth checking this out as well. It does give the local Registry Office Ref though rather than the GRO one:
